Precision Brand 16760 Steel Shim Stock Roll 0.025 X 6 X 180 in

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16760 is a steel shim stock roll used to fill gaps, align components, and set precise clearances in mechanical assemblies. At 0.025 inches thick, 6 inches wide, and 180 inches long, this roll provides enough material for multiple shim cuts across a wide range of applications. Steel construction delivers consistent thickness tolerance and durability under load. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians reach for shim stock when precision alignment is required during equipment installation, machine leveling, or bearing fitment work.

This shim stock roll suits general industrial and trade applications where adjustable material thickness is needed. Common uses include aligning machinery bases, shimming bearing housings, setting die clearances, and fine-tuning component spacing in fabrication and maintenance environments. The 6-inch width allows cutting to custom widths with standard shop tools, and the 180-inch roll length supports repeat jobs without frequent restocking. It is appropriate for both light manufacturing and heavy mechanical service work.

Key Features

• 0.025 inch nominal thickness for precise gap filling and alignment work
• Steel material provides strength and resistance to compression under load
• 180 inch roll length yields ample stock for multiple cuts and jobs
• 6 inch width accommodates a wide range of shim geometries when cut to size
• Roll format allows easy storage and dispensing at the workbench or job site

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock roll suitable for mechanical alignment, machinery installation, and fabrication applications where 0.025 inch steel shim material is specified.

Installation Notes

Cut shim stock to the required shape using aviation snips, a metal shear, or a die punch appropriate for the thickness. De-burr all cut edges before fitting to avoid surface damage to mating components. Ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before inserting shims to maintain accurate clearance values. Always follow equipment manufacturer tolerances and applicable machinery safety standards when performing alignment work.
