Precision Brand 17440 Brass Shim Stock 0.012 in 25x6 in 2pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17440 is a brass shim stock sheet used to fill gaps, set clearances, and align components in mechanical assemblies. At 0.012 inches thick, this material provides precise dimensional control in applications where tolerance matters. The sheet measures 25 inches long by 6 inches wide, giving technicians enough stock to cut custom shims to fit a wide range of installations. Each package includes 2 sheets. Brass construction offers good corrosion resistance, machinability, and compatibility with a variety of mating surfaces. Machinists, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals routinely use shim stock for equipment alignment and leveling work.

Brass shim stock is suited for light-duty mechanical alignment tasks in both residential and commercial maintenance environments. Common applications include setting bearing clearances, leveling equipment bases, adjusting door and window frames, and shimming compressors, motors, and fan assemblies during installation or service. The 0.012-inch thickness falls in the mid-range of standard shim gauges, making it a practical choice when moderate spacing correction is needed without excessive material buildup. Technicians typically cut the sheet to size using aviation snips, tin snips, or a metal shear.

Installation Notes

Cut shim stock to the required shape and size using appropriate metal-cutting tools such as aviation snips or a bench shear. Deburr cut edges before installation to prevent damage to mating surfaces or injury during handling. Always de-energize or lock out equipment before inserting or removing shims in live machinery. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer tolerances and relevant industry codes when specifying shim thickness for critical alignment work.
