Precision Brand 22430 Stainless Steel Shim Stock 0.031 in Roll

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 22430 is a stainless steel shim stock roll used to fill gaps, adjust clearances, and set tolerances in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from full hard, cold rolled 300 series stainless steel, it delivers consistent thickness and corrosion resistance across the full roll. At 0.031 inches thick and sized 6 inches by 50 inches, this roll provides ample material for cutting custom shims to fit a wide range of applications. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians rely on shim stock to achieve precise fits during equipment installation, alignment, and repair work.

This shim stock roll is suited for industrial and commercial maintenance applications where corrosion resistance and dimensional accuracy are required. Common uses include machinery alignment, bearing fits, flange spacing, and equipment leveling. The 300 series stainless construction makes it appropriate for wet, chemical-adjacent, or outdoor environments where carbon steel shim stock would corrode. The 50-inch roll length allows technicians to cut multiple shims from a single piece, reducing waste on jobs requiring several identical or varied sizes.

Key Features

• Full hard, cold rolled 300 series stainless steel for consistent hardness and corrosion resistance
• 0.031 inches nominal thickness for precise gap and tolerance adjustment
• 6 inches x 50 inches roll size provides substantial material for multiple cuts
• Corrosion-resistant construction suitable for wet or chemically active environments
• Sold as a single roll — no minimum purchase beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose stainless steel shim stock roll for use in mechanical, industrial, and maintenance applications requiring a 0.031-inch shim thickness.

Installation Notes

Shim stock should be cut using aviation snips, a shim cutter, or metal shears appropriate for stainless steel — standard scissors or utility knives are not recommended for this material. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and to avoid damaging mating surfaces. Ensure all equipment is de-energized and depressurized before disassembling components to insert shims. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer tolerances and any relevant industry standards when setting final clearances.
