Precision Brand 17979 Brass Shim Stock Roll 0.65mm 150mm

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17979 is a brass shim stock roll used to fill gaps, set clearances, and establish precise tolerances in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from 260 alloy brass, this roll measures 0.65 mm thick and 150 mm wide, providing a workable surface for cutting custom shims to size. The material offers good machinability and corrosion resistance, making it a practical choice for maintenance, repair, and original equipment assembly work. Millwrights, machinists, and maintenance technicians use shim stock like this to align shafts, level machinery, and achieve close fits in bearing housings, mounts, and flanged connections.

This shim stock roll is suited for industrial maintenance, machine shop, and field service applications where precise gap control is required. The 150 mm width and 2.5 m length provide enough material to cut multiple shims from a single roll. 260 alloy brass is commonly selected when the application requires a non-ferrous, non-sparking material or where mild corrosion resistance is a factor. The roll format allows technicians to cut shims to any length needed on the job.

Key Features

• 260 alloy brass construction offers good machinability and mild corrosion resistance
• Roll format allows custom shim lengths to be cut on site
• 0.65 mm thickness suits applications requiring precise gap filling in mechanical assemblies
• 150 mm width accommodates a wide range of shim geometries
• 2.5 m roll length provides ample material for multiple cuts

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose brass shim stock roll for use in mechanical assembly, alignment, and maintenance applications requiring 0.65 mm non-ferrous shim material.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically installed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using standard metal-cutting tools such as shears, snips, or a utility knife guided along a straightedge. Ensure machinery is fully de-energized and locked out before inserting or adjusting shims in any powered equipment. Edges cut from shim stock may be sharp — deburr as needed before handling. Follow applicable machinery manufacturer tolerances and relevant maintenance procedures when establishing clearances.
