Precision Brand 16775 Steel Shim Stock Roll 0.031in X 6in X 180in

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16775 is a steel shim stock roll used to fill gaps, align machinery, and set precise clearances in mechanical assemblies. At 0.031 inches thick, 6 inches wide, and 180 inches long, this roll provides ample material for multiple shim cuts on a single job. The cold-rolled steel construction holds dimensional tolerances tightly, making it a reliable choice wherever consistent thickness is required. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians reach for this type of stock when adjusting bearing fits, leveling equipment bases, or correcting misalignment in rotating machinery.

This shim stock roll is suited for general industrial, manufacturing, and maintenance applications. The 180-inch length gives enough continuous material to cut multiple pieces without splicing. The 6-inch width accommodates wider bearing journals, mounting flanges, and machine beds. It works in both light fabrication shops and heavy industrial maintenance settings where precise gap control is part of routine service work.

Key Features

• 0.031 inches nominal thickness for consistent gap-filling and alignment work
• 6 inches wide and 180 inches long — full roll format for high-yield cutting
• Steel construction resists deformation under compressive load
• Roll format allows field-cut shims to any required length
• UNSPSC Code 31231400 for procurement and catalog matching

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose steel shim stock roll for mechanical alignment, gap filling, and clearance adjustment applications across industrial and maintenance settings.

Installation Notes

Cut shim stock using aviation snips, a shim cutter, or a metal shear — always deburr cut edges before installation to prevent injury and ensure flat seating. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the roll, as steel edges can be sharp. Power down and lock out equipment before inserting or removing shims from any rotating or pressurized assembly. Confirm final clearance with a feeler gauge after installation.
