Precision Brand 26153 Round Shim Spring Steel 50 Pack

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 26153 is a round shortening shim manufactured from 1075 spring steel. It is used to fill gaps, adjust alignment, and take up clearance in mechanical assemblies. The shim measures 0.0320 inches thick with an inside diameter of 0.2520 inches and an outside diameter of 0.3660 inches, sized for 1/4-inch screw applications. Each package contains 50 shims. Spring steel construction provides consistent resilience and resistance to deformation under load, making this shim suitable for precision spacing tasks in industrial, HVAC, and mechanical maintenance work. Sold in quantities of 50 per package with a minimum order quantity of 1.

This shim is suited for use in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where controlled spacing or gap adjustment is required. Typical applications include motor mounting, bracket alignment, pump housings, and shaft assemblies where a 1/4-inch fastener interface is present. Technicians working on equipment that requires precise component spacing will use this shim during installation or service to achieve proper fit and alignment.
