Precision Brand 16972 Steel Shim Stock Roll 0.004 in Thick

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16972 is a steel shim stock roll used for precise spacing, alignment, and shimming applications in mechanical assembly and maintenance work. The roll measures 0.1 mm (approximately 0.004 inches) thick and 150 mm (approximately 5.91 inches) wide, with a full length of 2.5 meters (approximately 98.4 inches). Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians cut this material to the required size and shape on the job. The uniform steel construction ensures consistent thickness across the entire roll, which is critical for accurate alignment work.

This shim stock roll is suited for industrial, commercial, and heavy maintenance environments where precise gap filling or part alignment is required. Typical applications include machinery leveling, bearing alignment, mold and die fitting, and general mechanical assembly where close-tolerance spacing is needed. The 150 mm width provides enough material to cover a range of shimming scenarios without excessive waste, and the 2.5-meter length gives technicians ample stock for multiple cuts on a single job.

Key Features

• Steel construction for durability and consistent dimensional tolerance
• 0.1 mm (0.004 inches) nominal thickness for fine-tolerance shimming applications
• 150 mm (5.91 inches) wide roll allows flexible cutting to required dimensions
• 2.5-meter (98.4 inches) length provides sufficient stock for multiple uses
• Roll format for easy handling, storage, and on-site cutting

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose steel shim stock roll suitable for mechanical alignment and spacing tasks across a wide range of industrial and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Cut shim stock to the required shape using appropriate metal shears, snips, or a utility knife with a straight edge. Deburr cut edges before installation to prevent damage to mating surfaces or injury during handling. Ensure mating components are clean and free of debris before placing shims. Follow applicable industry standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines when performing alignment or assembly work.
