Precision Brand 17973 Brass Shim Stock Roll 0.15mm 150mm

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17973 is a brass shim stock roll used for precision shimming, spacing, and alignment tasks in mechanical and industrial applications. Manufactured from 260 alloy brass, this roll measures 0.15 mm in thickness and 150 mm in width, with a length of 2.5 meters, giving technicians ample material to cut custom shims on the job. The 260 alloy brass composition provides good corrosion resistance, machinability, and consistent thickness tolerance across the full roll. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians use shim stock to achieve precise clearances between mating surfaces or to level and align equipment components.

This shim stock roll is suited for residential and commercial maintenance environments, machine shops, and industrial facilities where controlled spacing or gap filling is required. Common applications include aligning pump flanges, leveling machinery bases, adjusting bearing clearances, and filling gaps between mechanical assemblies. The roll format allows the installer to cut the exact length and shape needed for the application, reducing waste and accommodating irregular geometries. The 150 mm width is wide enough for most standard shimming tasks without the need to splice multiple pieces.

Key Features

• 260 alloy brass construction for corrosion resistance and consistent dimensional tolerance
• 0.15 mm thickness for fine-tolerance shimming and alignment work
• 150 mm width accommodates a wide range of standard shimming applications
• 2.5 m roll length provides ample material for multiple cuts and custom shapes
• Roll format allows field trimming with snips or shears to any required length or profile

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose brass shim stock roll suitable for mechanical alignment, spacing, and gap-filling tasks across industrial, commercial, and maintenance applications where 0.15 mm brass shim material is specified.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically installed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using metal snips, aviation shears, or a scribe and straightedge for clean cuts. De-energize or lock out any equipment before inserting shims into rotating or pressurized assemblies. Edges cut from brass shim stock can be sharp — use appropriate hand protection during handling and installation. Verify final clearance with feeler gauges or a micrometer after shimming to confirm the assembly meets specification.
