Manufactured from 1075 spring steel, it delivers consistent thickness and reliable resilience under load. The shim measures 0.032 inches thick, with an inside diameter of 0.501 inches and an outside diameter of 0.738 inches. The thickness tolerance is held to plus or minus 0.0015 inches, making it suitable for close-tolerance fits around 1\/2-inch fasteners and shoulders. Each package contains 50 shims. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these shims to correct misalignment, take up clearances, and level components in production and field service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis shim is used in mechanical and industrial assemblies where precise axial spacing or load distribution is required around a 1\/2-inch screw or shaft shoulder. Typical applications include bearing preload adjustment, bracket alignment, and fastener stack-height correction in both light and heavy equipment. The shortening shim type makes it well suited for reducing shaft or component length incrementally. These shims are commonly used in manufacturing, maintenance, and repair operations across a wide range of industrial and commercial equipment platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1075 spring steel construction provides strength and elasticity under compressive loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShortening shim type for incremental length and spacing adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInside diameter of 0.501 inches fits standard 1\/2-inch fasteners and shoulder diameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.0015 inches supports close-tolerance mechanical fits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePack of 50 shims for production use or stocking maintenance inventory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard shim for mechanical assemblies requiring a 1\/2-inch inside diameter round shim in 1075 spring steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using standard hand tools. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before disassembling any assembly to install or remove shims. Verify that mating surfaces are clean and free of burrs before stacking shims, as surface contamination will affect the final stack height. Do not mix shim materials or grades unless the assembly design specifies it.\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: 0.0320 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.0015 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: 26162\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION BRAND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541971796274,"sku":"26162","price":48.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f9cf89dae40c86d1e7156d3f98b8a3ed.jpg?v=1785888701","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-brand-26162-round-shim-spring-steel-pack-of-50","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
