Precision Brand 22153 Shim Stock Roll 0.005 in 6x60 in Ss

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 22153 is a stainless steel shim stock roll used to fill gaps, set clearances, and align components in mechanical assemblies. At 0.005 inches thick, this roll provides one of the thinner gauges commonly needed for precision fit-up work. The 6-inch width and 60-inch length give technicians enough material to cut custom shims for a wide range of applications. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds dimensional tolerances well under repeated use. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians typically keep rolls like this on hand for on-the-spot shimming tasks in both shop and field environments.

This shim stock roll is suited for industrial maintenance, machine alignment, and equipment assembly where precise gap control is required. Common applications include leveling machinery bases, adjusting bearing clearances, and fitting mating surfaces on pumps, motors, compressors, and similar rotating equipment. The roll format allows the user to cut shims to any required length or shape using tin snips, shears, or a utility knife. It is appropriate for both light-duty and moderate-duty mechanical applications where stainless steel is preferred over brass or steel for corrosion resistance.

Key Features

• 0.005 inch thickness for fine-tolerance shimming and gap adjustment
• Stainless steel material provides corrosion resistance and dimensional stability
• Roll format at 6 inches wide by 60 inches long allows field-cut shims of any size
• Consistent gauge across the full roll length for reliable fit-up results
• Compatible with standard cutting tools including snips and shears

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock roll for use in mechanical maintenance, machine alignment, and fabrication applications requiring stainless steel shim material at 0.005 inch thickness.

Installation Notes

Cut shim stock using aviation snips, metal shears, or a sharp utility knife on a firm flat surface. De-burr cut edges before inserting shims into precision assemblies to avoid surface damage. Power down and lock out equipment before adjusting clearances on rotating or pressurized machinery. Verify final clearance with feeler gauges or a micrometer after shim installation.
