Precision Brand 22978 Stainless Steel Shim Stock Roll

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 22978 is a stainless steel shim stock roll used to fill gaps, align components, and set precise clearances in mechanical assemblies. At 0.5 mm thick, 150 mm wide, and 1.25 meters long, this roll provides enough material to cut custom shims for a range of applications. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds dimensional stability under load and temperature cycling. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians reach for shim stock when precise spacing or leveling is required on equipment such as pumps, compressors, motors, and structural supports.

This shim stock roll suits light industrial and commercial maintenance work where controlled tolerances are critical. Common uses include shimming motor mounts, aligning shaft couplings, leveling equipment bases, and adjusting bearing clearances. The 150 mm width and 1.25 m length allow field techs and shop machinists to cut pieces to exact dimensions with aviation snips or a shim cutter. Each package contains one roll, making it straightforward to stock individually or in multiples for ongoing maintenance programs.

Key Features

• Stainless steel material resists rust and corrosion in wet or humid service environments
• 0.5 mm thickness provides a defined, consistent gap fill for precision alignment work
• 150 mm width offers flexibility to cut a wide range of shim geometries from a single roll
• 1.25 m roll length supplies enough material for multiple cuts in a single job
• Roll format stores compactly and allows field cutting to custom lengths and shapes

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose stainless steel shim stock roll suitable for mechanical alignment, leveling, and gap-filling tasks across industrial, commercial, and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically installed by millwrights, machinists, or maintenance technicians during equipment alignment or assembly procedures. De-energize and lock out all equipment before inserting or adjusting shims near rotating or pressurized components. Use aviation snips, a shim cutter, or metal shears to cut pieces to the required dimensions; deburr cut edges before installation to prevent damage to mating surfaces. Verify final clearances with feeler gauges or dial indicators per the equipment manufacturer's alignment specifications.
