Precision Brand 23240 Shim Stock 0.02 in Spring Steel

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 23240 is a blue tempered spring steel shim stock sheet used to fill gaps, align components, and set clearances in mechanical assemblies. At 0.02 inches thick and measuring 6 inches wide by 25 inches long, this sheet provides a reliable shimming surface for precision fitment work. Blue tempered spring steel delivers consistent thickness tolerance, surface hardness, and springback resistance across the full sheet. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians typically cut this material to the required shape using metal shears or snips. It fits into tight clearance applications where dimensional accuracy is critical.

This shim stock is suited for industrial maintenance, machinery alignment, bearing housing fitment, and equipment leveling in commercial and light industrial settings. The 6 x 25 inch sheet size gives technicians enough material to cut multiple shims from a single piece. It is commonly used in shops, fabrication facilities, and field maintenance work where precise gap control is required. The package contains 2 pieces per package quantity of 1.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock sheet for use in mechanical assembly, alignment, and maintenance applications where spring steel material and 0.02 inch thickness are specified.

Installation Notes

Cut shim stock to the required shape using metal shears, aviation snips, or a metal-cutting blade — always deburr cut edges before installation to avoid injury and to ensure flat seating. De-energize and lock out all equipment before inserting or adjusting shims in any machinery. Wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling sheet metal stock. Follow applicable machinery safety and maintenance codes for the equipment being serviced.
