Precision Brand 17974 Brass Shim Stock Roll 0.2mm 150mm Wide

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17974 is a brass shim stock roll used to fill gaps, align components, and set precise clearances in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from 260 alloy brass, the roll measures 0.2 mm thick and 150 mm wide with a 2.5 m length, giving technicians and machinists enough material to cut custom shims for multiple jobs. The 260 alloy provides good corrosion resistance, machinability, and ductility, making it suitable for applications where the shim must conform slightly or be trimmed to a tight tolerance. Millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and precision assembly technicians are the primary users of this product.

Brass shim stock of this thickness is commonly used in industrial maintenance, machine tool alignment, bearing fits, pump and motor mounting, and light fabrication work. The 0.2 mm gauge is thin enough for fine clearance adjustments but substantial enough to handle moderate compressive loads. At 150 mm wide, the roll accommodates a range of component widths without requiring additional lamination. This product is sold as a single roll and is well-suited for both shop use and field service kits.

Key Features

• 260 alloy brass construction offers good corrosion resistance and easy cutting or shearing
• 0.2 mm thickness allows fine clearance and alignment adjustments in precision assemblies
• 150 mm width covers a broad range of component sizes without splicing
• 2.5 m roll length provides ample material for multiple cuts and jobs
• Roll format allows on-site trimming to exact dimensions with standard snips or shears

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose brass shim stock roll suitable for industrial maintenance, mechanical alignment, and precision assembly applications requiring 0.2 mm thickness.

Installation Notes

Cut brass shim stock using metal shears, snips, or a sharp utility knife with a straightedge for clean, burr-free edges. De-energize and lock out any equipment before inserting or adjusting shims in rotating machinery or loaded assemblies. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling edges of freshly cut shim material. Follow applicable machinery manufacturer tolerances and relevant ASME or OEM alignment specifications when setting final clearances.
