Precision Brand 16971 Steel Shim Stock Roll

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16971 is a steel shim stock roll used to fill gaps, align machinery, and achieve precise tolerances in mechanical assemblies. Supplied as a continuous roll, it gives technicians and tradespeople the flexibility to cut custom shim lengths on site without waste. The stock measures 0.05 mm thick by 150 mm wide and 2.5 m long, making it well-suited for applications that require very thin, consistent material. At 0.42 pounds, the roll is lightweight and easy to transport to the job site. Steel construction provides the rigidity and durability needed for load-bearing shimming tasks.

Steel shim stock in roll form is a standard consumable in HVAC equipment alignment, pump and motor mounting, flange leveling, and general mechanical maintenance. It is commonly used wherever precise gap control is required during equipment installation or adjustment. The thin 0.05 mm gauge is appropriate for fine-tolerance work where thicker shims would introduce excessive clearance. This roll format reduces the need to carry pre-cut shims of multiple thicknesses and allows field fabrication to exact dimensions.

Key Features

• Steel construction for rigidity and durability under load
• 0.05 mm thickness for fine-tolerance shimming applications
• 150 mm wide roll allows on-site cutting to any required width or length
• 2.5 m roll length provides ample material for multiple shim sets
• Lightweight at 0.42 pounds for easy handling and transport

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose steel shim stock roll suitable for use in HVAC equipment alignment, motor mounting, pump bases, and other mechanical assemblies requiring precise gap control.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically installed by millwrights, HVAC technicians, or mechanical tradespeople during equipment alignment and mounting procedures. Power down and de-energize any equipment before inserting or adjusting shims. Use tin snips, a utility knife, or metal shears to cut the stock cleanly to the required size. Edges can be sharp after cutting, so appropriate hand protection is recommended.
