Instead of put a shim over (or under) the tappet for regulate the play between the tappet itself and the cam lobe, you put a calibrated tappet. More safe at high rpm, as there isn't any shim that can spit out.
What is the diameter of the tappets?

They sit over the valves, to set valves to specific clearance. Shimless are more robust as it doesn't have a shim. Therefore no chance of shim being spat out at high revs.
