Precision Brand 26165 Round Shim Spring Steel 50 Pack

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 26165 is a round shortening shim made from 1075 spring steel, designed for precision shimming applications in industrial, mechanical, and maintenance settings. At 0.032 inches thick with a 0.626-inch inside diameter and a 0.870-inch outside diameter, this shim is sized for 5/8-inch screw or shoulder configurations. Each package contains 50 shims. The spring steel construction provides consistent resilience and dimensional stability under load. Licensed machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly use shortening shims to adjust clearances, level components, or take up slack in assemblies requiring close-tolerance fits.

This round shim is suited for use in general industrial machinery, fabrication, and mechanical assembly applications where repeatable, accurate shimming is required. The shortening shim type is typically used to reduce stack height or fill gaps between mating surfaces. The 0.032-inch nominal thickness with a tolerance of plus or minus 0.0015 inches makes this part appropriate for moderate-precision work. Sold in a 50-piece package, the quantity supports field service kits, maintenance departments, or production-line use where consistent shim stock is needed at hand.

Key Features

• Shim type: shortening, for reducing stack height between mating surfaces
• 1075 spring steel construction for resilience and dimensional consistency under load
• 0.032-inch nominal thickness with a plus or minus 0.0015-inch thickness tolerance
• 0.626-inch inside diameter fits 5/8-inch screw or shoulder configurations
• 0.870-inch outside diameter for compact footprint in tight assemblies
• Sold in a 50-piece package for maintenance stock or repeat use

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5/8-inch screw sizes and shoulder diameters in general mechanical and industrial assemblies requiring a round shortening shim in 1075 spring steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, machinists, or qualified maintenance technicians. Before shimming, ensure the assembly is depowered or depressurized and all moving components are secured or locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Clean mating surfaces of debris and burrs before placing shims to maintain dimensional accuracy. Do not exceed the designed load capacity of the assembly when selecting shim thickness or stacking multiple shims.
