Precision Brand 22147 Stainless Steel Shim Stock Roll

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 22147 is a stainless steel shim stock roll used for precision spacing, alignment, and shimming applications across mechanical and industrial trades. The roll measures 0.02 inches thick, 6 inches wide, and 60 inches long, giving technicians and machinists ample material to cut custom shims to the exact dimensions a job requires. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and dimensional stability, making it suitable for environments where standard carbon steel shim stock would be prone to rust or distortion. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and field service professionals rely on shim stock like this to correct tolerances, level equipment, and fill gaps during assembly or repair work.

This shim stock roll is appropriate for use in light industrial, commercial, and field maintenance settings. Typical applications include aligning shafts, leveling machinery bases, correcting bearing fits, and providing precise standoff spacing in mechanical assemblies. The 60-inch length and 6-inch width allow the material to be cut with snips or a sharp utility knife to fit a wide range of applications. The 0.02-inch thickness is a commonly specified gauge for medium-tolerance shimming tasks where thin brass or plastic shim stock would not provide adequate strength or corrosion resistance.

Key Features

• Stainless steel material offers corrosion resistance and long-term dimensional stability
• 0.02-inch thickness suits medium-tolerance alignment and spacing applications
• 60-inch roll length provides generous material for multiple cuts on a single job
• 6-inch width allows shims to be cut to a wide variety of shapes and sizes
• Roll format enables storage and reuse of remaining material after cutting

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose stainless steel shim stock roll suitable for mechanical alignment, machinery leveling, and precision spacing tasks in industrial and commercial maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically installed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians during equipment alignment or assembly procedures. Use aviation snips, a sharp utility knife, or a metal shear to cut shim stock to the required shape. Deburr cut edges before installation to avoid damage to mating surfaces or injury during handling. Always verify final dimensions with calipers or a micrometer before installing in critical-tolerance assemblies.
