Maudlin Products MSC4-DK Slotted Shim Assortment 340pc

Product Description

The MAUDLIN PRODUCTS MSC4-DK is a 340-piece stainless steel slotted shim assortment designed for precision shimming, alignment, and leveling tasks in mechanical and industrial applications. Each shim measures 4 inches long by 4 inches wide with a 1-1/4 inch wide slot, allowing installation around fasteners and shafts without full disassembly. Thickness range spans 0.001 to 0.125 inches, giving technicians a wide selection of increments to achieve tight tolerances. The assortment is manufactured from 302/304 stainless steel, offering good corrosion resistance and dimensional stability in demanding environments. The complete kit weighs 32 pounds.

This assortment is suited for millwrights, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and precision alignment professionals working in industrial, commercial, and heavy-equipment settings. The slotted profile allows shims to be slipped laterally under machinery feet, bearing housings, flanges, and structural supports without lifting or disassembling the equipment. Having multiple thicknesses on hand reduces downtime when fine-tuning shaft alignment, leveling base plates, or correcting soft-foot conditions on rotating equipment. The stainless steel construction holds up in wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor environments where carbon steel shims would corrode.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted shim assortment compatible with applications requiring 4 x 4 inch shims with a 1-1/4 inch wide slot, suitable for machinery alignment and leveling tasks across a wide range of industrial and commercial equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights or maintenance technicians as part of machinery alignment or leveling procedures. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before inserting or adjusting shims under live machinery. Use a dial indicator or laser alignment tool to verify shaft or base-plate alignment after shimming. Stack shims in the minimum number of pieces required to achieve the target thickness to maintain a stable and rigid shimming column.
