At 0.015 inches thick with a thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.00075 inches, this shim delivers tight dimensional control where stack-up accuracy matters. The 0.501-inch inside diameter and 0.738-inch outside diameter are sized for use with 1\/2-inch fasteners or shoulder bolts. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these shims during equipment alignment, bearing retention, and component spacing work across industrial and trade applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis shim is suited for mechanical assemblies requiring precise gap adjustment or load transfer at 1\/2-inch screw or shoulder bolt locations. The shortening shim profile makes it appropriate for reducing axial play in shaft assemblies, aligning pulleys or sprockets, and correcting tolerance stack-up in equipment repairs. The spring steel construction handles moderate compressive loads without permanent deformation, making it a reliable choice for both OEM builds and field service repairs. Each package contains 50 shims, providing enough quantity for production runs or stocked maintenance inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShortening shim type for axial spacing and gap adjustment in mechanical assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1075 spring steel construction resists permanent deformation under compressive load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.015-inch nominal thickness with a tight tolerance of plus or minus 0.00075 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.501-inch inside diameter sized for 1\/2-inch screw or shoulder bolt fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.738-inch outside diameter for broad load distribution around the fastener\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged in quantities of 50 for production and service inventory use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service shim for mechanical assemblies using 1\/2-inch fasteners or shoulder bolts where a 0.015-inch thick round shortening shim is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or equipment maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before disassembling any assembly that requires shimming. Verify shaft, bore, and fastener dimensions before selecting shim thickness to ensure proper stack-up. Do not exceed the compressive rating of the assembly by stacking shims beyond the design specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShim Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shortening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spring Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1075\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.00075 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.501 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.738 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScrew Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShoulder Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PRECISION BRAND\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26161\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION BRAND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540328186162,"sku":"26161","price":42.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/225310ce0c2a0994ab77a2e315646189.jpg?v=1785852323","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-brand-26161-round-shim-spring-steel-50-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
