Precision Brand 22971 Stainless Steel Shim Stock

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 22971 is a stainless steel shim stock roll intended for precision shimming, alignment, and spacing applications across a wide range of industrial and mechanical trades. The roll measures 0.05 millimeters thick, 150 millimeters wide, and 1.25 meters in length, providing a workable quantity of material for multiple shimming tasks from a single pack. At 0.25 pounds, the roll is compact and easy to handle on the job. Stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance and dimensional stability, making it suitable for environments where mild steel shim stock would degrade or contaminate a precision assembly.

Shim stock of this type is used by machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors when setting clearances, aligning machinery, leveling components, or achieving precise fitment between mating surfaces. The 0.05 mm gauge is a fine thickness appropriate for close-tolerance work where small incremental adjustments are required. This roll format allows the technician to cut custom shim shapes and sizes to suit the specific application rather than relying on precut shims of fixed geometry.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and long-term dimensional stability
• Fine 0.05 mm thickness suited for close-tolerance shimming and alignment tasks
• 150 mm width allows cutting of wider shim pieces without splicing
• 1.25 m roll length supplies material for multiple cuts from a single pack
• Roll format enables field-cut custom shim shapes to match any mating surface

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose stainless steel shim stock roll suitable for precision alignment and spacing tasks in mechanical, industrial, and maintenance applications where a 0.05 mm gauge stainless material is specified.

Installation Notes

Shim stock should be cut using aviation snips, a shim cutter, or a sharp utility knife and straight edge to achieve clean, burr-free edges that will not affect the precision of the joint. Wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting thin metal stock. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before inserting shims, as contamination can compromise the accuracy of the shimmed clearance. Follow applicable machinery manufacturer specifications and relevant trade standards when performing precision alignment or assembly work.
