Precision Brand 16973 Steel Shim Stock Roll 0.15mm X 150mm

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16973 is a steel shim stock roll used to fill gaps, align components, and set precise tolerances in mechanical assemblies. This roll measures 0.15 millimeters thick, 150 millimeters wide, and 2.5 meters long, providing ample material for multiple shimming jobs from a single pack. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians rely on flat shim stock like this to achieve exact clearances between mating surfaces, flanges, and equipment bases. The steel construction holds its dimensions under load and resists deformation during installation.

This shim stock roll is suited for industrial and commercial maintenance applications where precise gap filling or leveling is required. Common uses include aligning pump bases, leveling machinery feet, setting bearing clearances, and shimming pipe supports or structural components. The roll format allows technicians to cut custom lengths and widths on site to match the specific fitment required for each job, reducing waste and improving efficiency on the shop floor or in the field.

Key Features

• Steel construction maintains dimensional stability under compressive load
• 0.15 millimeter thickness for fine tolerance applications
• 150 millimeter width provides flexibility for wider shim cuts
• 2.5 meter roll length yields multiple pieces per pack
• Roll format allows field-cut sizing with snips or shears

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically installed by millwrights, machinists, or maintenance technicians during alignment or assembly procedures. Cut shim material to the required dimensions using aviation snips, shears, or a shim cutter before installation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting steel shim stock, as edges can be sharp. Always verify final clearances with a feeler gauge after shimming to confirm the assembly meets the specified tolerance.
