Maudlin Products 012-12-50 Stainless Steel Shim Stock Roll

Product Description

The MAUDLIN PRODUCTS 012-12-50 is a stainless steel shim stock roll used for precision spacing, alignment, and leveling applications in mechanical and industrial settings. The roll measures 12 inches wide by 50 inches long with a nominal thickness of 0.012 inches and a tight thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.0005 inches. Material grade is 302/304 stainless steel with a full hard temper, providing good corrosion resistance and spring-back characteristics. The non-magnetic designation makes it suitable for environments where magnetic interference is a concern. Machinists, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and maintenance mechanics install this type of shim stock when precise gap control is required during equipment installation or alignment.

This shim stock roll is suited for both light commercial and industrial applications where controlled material thickness is needed. Typical uses include shimming equipment bases, aligning shafts, adjusting bearing fits, and setting clearances on mechanical assemblies. The full-width 12-inch roll allows technicians to cut custom-sized pieces to fit the specific geometry of the application. The 50-inch length provides enough material for multiple cuts on a single job or across several service calls. The stainless steel construction holds up in wet, humid, or mildly corrosive environments without degrading over time.

Key Features

• 302/304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid service environments
• Full hard temper provides consistent spring-back and dimensional stability under load
• Tight thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.0005 inches supports precision alignment work
• Non-magnetic material suitable for use near sensitive instrumentation or electrical equipment
• 12 x 50 inch roll format allows field-cut pieces sized to the exact application requirement
• Single-piece roll minimizes material waste across multiple cuts or service visits

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock roll for mechanical alignment and spacing tasks across HVAC equipment bases, pumps, compressors, motors, and similar industrial or commercial machinery installations.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically installed by millwrights, HVAC mechanics, or maintenance technicians using snips, a utility knife, or metal shears to cut the roll to the required shape and size. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting metal shim stock, as edges can be sharp. Verify equipment is de-energized and mechanically locked out before placing shims in rotating machinery or pressurized assemblies. Measure installed thickness with a calibrated micrometer to confirm the final gap or clearance meets the equipment specification.
