Precision Brand 17971 Brass Shim Stock Roll

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17971 is a brass shim stock roll used to fill gaps, set clearances, and align components in precision mechanical assemblies. Supplied in a continuous roll measuring 0.05 mm thick by 150 mm wide and 2.5 m long, it gives machinists and maintenance technicians the material they need to cut custom shims to exact dimensions on the job. Brass is chosen for its corrosion resistance, machinability, and non-magnetic properties, making this stock suitable for use in environments where steel contamination or sparking is a concern.

This shim stock is used across industrial maintenance, machine shop, and millwright applications. Typical uses include leveling machinery bases, shimming bearing housings, adjusting gear and shaft alignment, and setting die clearances. The roll format reduces waste compared to pre-cut sheets and allows the technician to produce multiple shims of varying sizes from a single piece of material.

Key Features

• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance and non-magnetic properties
• Roll format allows custom shim sizes to be cut as needed
• 0.05 mm thickness suits fine-tolerance gap and clearance work
• 150 mm width accommodates a range of shim widths without splicing
• 2.5 m length provides ample material for multiple cuts

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose brass shim stock roll suitable for precision mechanical alignment, gap setting, and clearance adjustment in industrial and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Shim stock should be cut using aviation snips, shim cutters, or metal shears appropriate for thin brass sheet. Deburr all cut edges before installation to avoid damage to mating surfaces or injury during handling. Ensure the mating components are clean and free of debris before shimming to achieve accurate clearance settings. Work performed on machinery should follow the equipment manufacturer lockout and tagout procedures before disassembly.
