Precision Brand 16975 Steel Shim Stock Roll

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16975 is a steel shim stock roll used to fill gaps, align components, and set precise clearances in mechanical assemblies. At 0.0098 inches thick, it gives technicians tight control over tolerances during equipment installation, alignment, and adjustment work. The roll measures 98.4 inches long and 5.91 inches wide, supplying enough material for multiple cuts across a typical job. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians use shim stock like this when working with pumps, motors, compressors, fans, and structural base plates where precise fitment is required.

This roll suits industrial and commercial maintenance applications where consistent material thickness and a wide cut width are needed. It is commonly used in HVAC equipment installations for aligning blower assemblies, motor mounts, and base frames. The steel construction holds up under compressive load and resists deformation during fastening, making it a reliable choice for both permanent and temporary shimming tasks in mechanical and facilities maintenance work.

Key Features

• Steel construction resists deformation under compressive load
• 0.0098-inch thickness for precise gap and clearance control
• Roll format allows field-cut pieces sized to the application
• 5.91-inch width accommodates larger bearing surfaces and base plates
• 98.4-inch length provides material for multiple installations from a single roll

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock roll suitable for mechanical alignment and gap-filling tasks across industrial, commercial, and HVAC equipment installations.

Installation Notes

Cut shim stock to the required dimensions using aviation snips or a metal shear before fitting. De-burr cut edges to prevent damage to mating surfaces or injury during handling. Power down and lock out all equipment before shimming rotating machinery or drive components. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and facility maintenance procedures when establishing final alignment tolerances.
