Precision Brand 17978 Brass Shim Stock Roll 0.5mm 150mm

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17978 is a brass shim stock roll used for precision spacing, alignment, and shimming tasks across mechanical, industrial, and trade applications. Manufactured from 260 alloy brass, this roll measures 0.5 mm thick and 150 mm wide with a 2.5 m length, giving technicians ample material for layout and custom-cut shim fabrication. Brass shim stock is valued for its machinability, corrosion resistance, and non-sparking characteristics. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians commonly use roll-form shim stock to fine-tune clearances, level equipment, and correct alignment tolerances on shafts, flanges, bearings, and base plates.

This shim stock roll suits both shop and field applications wherever controlled spacing is required. Common uses include leveling pumps and compressors, setting bearing clearances, aligning pipe flanges, and shimming HVAC equipment bases and fan assemblies. The 150 mm width allows cuts across a wide range of part sizes, and the roll format minimizes waste when fabricating custom shim shapes. Industrial maintenance, mechanical contracting, and HVAC installation crews keep brass shim stock on hand as a standard consumable for equipment setting and precision adjustment work.

Key Features

• 260 alloy brass construction offers good corrosion resistance and machinability
• 0.5 mm thickness suitable for medium-tolerance spacing and alignment tasks
• 150 mm width accommodates a broad range of shim dimensions without splicing
• 2.5 m roll length provides material for multiple jobs or repeated cuts
• Non-sparking brass material appropriate for use near flammable environments
• Roll format allows field cutting to any required length or shape

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose brass shim stock roll suitable for mechanical alignment, equipment leveling, and precision spacing applications across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance work where 0.5 mm brass shim material is specified.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically installed by machinists, millwrights, or mechanical contractors using aviation snips, shim cutters, or tin snips to cut material to the required shape. De-energize and lock out all equipment before shimming rotating machinery or live electrical enclosures. Verify final alignment with a dial indicator or feeler gauge after installation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling sheared edges.
