Precision Brand 16215 Steel Shim Stock Roll 0.0025 in 1010

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16215 is a roll of 1010 low carbon steel shim stock used for precision spacing, alignment, and shimming applications in mechanical assembly and maintenance work. At 0.0025 inches thick, this stock provides fine-tolerance gap filling for machine bases, bearing housings, and other close-tolerance assemblies. The roll measures 6 inches wide and 100 inches long, giving technicians and machinists a generous working length to cut custom shim pieces on site. This material is suited for industrial, manufacturing, and maintenance environments where consistent material thickness and steel integrity are required.

This shim stock roll is used in applications requiring precise gap control and load distribution across mating surfaces. Typical uses include leveling and aligning machinery, setting bearing preload clearances, and filling gaps in fabricated assemblies. The 1010 low carbon steel composition offers good ductility and formability, making it easy to cut or trim to shape with standard shop tools. It is commonly specified in general industrial maintenance, millwright work, and precision mechanical assembly.

Key Features

• 0.0025 inch thickness for fine-tolerance shimming and gap adjustment
• 1010 low carbon steel construction provides ductility and ease of cutting
• 6 inch width accommodates a wide range of shim geometries
• 100 inch roll length allows multiple cuts from a single piece
• Roll format for convenient storage and controlled dispensing in the shop or field

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose steel shim stock roll for use in mechanical assembly, industrial maintenance, and precision alignment applications where 0.0025 inch steel shimming material is specified.

Installation Notes

Shim stock installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using tin snips, aviation shears, or a shim stock cutter to trim pieces to the required dimensions. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent surface damage and ensure consistent contact. Clean mating surfaces before placing shims to avoid introducing particulate that could affect the final clearance. Follow applicable machinery OEM specifications for target clearance values.
