Precision Brand 22973 Stainless Steel Shim Stock Roll

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 22973 is a stainless steel shim stock roll used for precision spacing, alignment, and shimming applications in mechanical assembly and maintenance work. The roll measures 0.15 mm thick, 150 mm wide, and 1.25 meters long, providing a solid working length for cutting custom shim pieces to size. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds dimensional tolerance under load, making it suitable for environments where mild steel stock would degrade. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians reach for this material when setting bearing clearances, leveling equipment, or filling gaps in close-tolerance assemblies.

This shim stock roll fits into general industrial, commercial, and trade maintenance workflows wherever precise thickness control is required. Common applications include aligning pump flanges, setting machine tool clearances, and shimming HVAC equipment bases or compressor mounting feet. The 150 mm width allows a technician to cut strips or patches across a range of widths without waste. The roll format stores flat and cuts cleanly with aviation snips or a sharp utility knife on a hard surface.

Key Features

• Stainless steel material resists corrosion and maintains thickness tolerance under compression
• Roll format at 1.25 meters long allows custom-length cuts for varied job requirements
• 0.15 mm thickness suits fine-tolerance shimming and alignment tasks
• 150 mm width provides ample stock for cutting strips or full-width shims
• Single-roll packaging keeps inventory simple for low-volume or one-off repair jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose stainless steel shim stock roll suitable for mechanical alignment and spacing applications across industrial, commercial, and trade maintenance settings.

Installation Notes

Shim stock installation is typically performed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, or experienced mechanical contractors. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before inserting or adjusting shims in any mechanical assembly. Cut shim pieces on a firm, flat surface using aviation snips or a sharp utility knife, and deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and ensure even seating. Verify final clearances with a calibrated feeler gauge after shimming.
