Precision Brand 22144 Stainless Steel Shim Stock Roll

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 22144 is a stainless steel shim stock roll used for precision spacing, alignment, and shimming applications across mechanical assembly and maintenance work. The roll measures 0.015 inches thick, 6 inches wide, and 60 inches long, providing enough material for multiple shim cuts from a single piece. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds tight dimensional tolerances, making it suitable for environments where mild steel would degrade. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and industrial mechanics are the primary installers. The roll format allows the installer to cut custom shim lengths and widths to fit the specific clearance or alignment requirement on the job.

This shim stock is used wherever precise gap control is needed in mechanical systems: machinery alignment, bearing fits, gear lash adjustment, die and mold work, and general manufacturing assembly. The 6-inch width accommodates wide bearing surfaces or flanges that narrower shim stock cannot span. The 60-inch length supports high-volume jobs or multiple separate shimming tasks from one roll. Suitable for both light industrial and heavy maintenance environments where stainless steel resistance to moisture and mild chemicals is an advantage over plain steel or brass alternatives.

Key Features

• 0.015-inch thickness for fine precision spacing and clearance adjustment
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in humid or wet service environments
• 6-inch width covers wide bearing surfaces, flanges, and large mating faces
• 60-inch roll length yields multiple cuts for different tasks from one piece
• Roll format allows field trimming to any required length or shape

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock roll for mechanical alignment, machinery assembly, and maintenance applications requiring 0.015-inch stainless steel material.

Installation Notes

Cut shim stock using aviation snips, tin snips, or a sharp bench shear to avoid edge distortion. Deburr cut edges before installing between mating surfaces to prevent damage to precision-ground faces. Always verify final assembled clearance with a calibrated feeler gauge after shimming. Follow applicable machinery manufacturer guidelines and plant safety lockout/tagout procedures before disassembling any equipment for shimming work.
