Precision Brand 22220 Stainless Steel Shim Stock 0.005 in Roll

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 22220 is a stainless steel shim stock roll used to fill gaps, align components, and set precise clearances in mechanical assemblies. Measuring 6 inches wide by 50 inches long at a thickness of 0.005 inches, this roll is made from full hard, cold rolled 300 series stainless steel. The 300 series alloy provides corrosion resistance and dimensional stability, making it suitable for applications where mild steel or brass shim stock would corrode or deform. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians cut strips to the required size using tin snips or a utility knife.

This shim stock roll is used in industrial and commercial maintenance settings for machinery alignment, bearing fits, fixture building, and precision gap control. The roll format allows the installer to cut custom lengths and shapes on site. At 0.005 inches thick, it is suited for fine clearance adjustments where tight tolerances are required. Typical applications include aligning pump bases, setting gear or shaft clearances, and leveling equipment on machined surfaces.

Key Features

• Full hard, cold rolled 300 series stainless steel for corrosion resistance and consistent thickness
• 0.005 inch thickness for fine tolerance and precision clearance work
• Roll format — 6 inches x 50 inches — allows field cutting to any required shape or length
• Maintains dimensional stability under mechanical load and moderate temperature
• Weighs 0.56 pounds — lightweight and easy to transport to the job site

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock roll for use in mechanical assembly, equipment alignment, and precision maintenance applications where 300 series stainless steel material is required.

Installation Notes

Shim stock installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out machinery before introducing shims into rotating or load-bearing assemblies. Use tin snips, a sharp utility knife, or metal shears to cut the stock — avoid bending or creasing the material in the measurement zone, as deformation will affect thickness accuracy. Verify final clearance with a calibrated feeler gauge after shimming.
