Precision Brand 26167 Round Shim Spring Steel Pack of 50

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 26167 is a round shortening shim manufactured from 1075 spring steel. It is designed to fill gaps, adjust spacing, and set precise clearances in mechanical assemblies. With a thickness of 0.0150 inches, an inside diameter of 0.751 inches, and an outside diameter of 0.995 inches, this shim provides accurate dimensional control in tight-tolerance applications. The 1075 spring steel construction delivers high strength and resilience, making it suitable for load-bearing and vibration-prone installations. Each package contains 50 shims. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This shim is used in residential and industrial mechanical applications where precise spacing or leveling is required at a 3/4-inch screw or shaft shoulder. Common uses include motor mounts, bearing housings, flanged assemblies, and equipment bases where controlled stack height is critical. The shortening shim type is suited for reducing or fine-tuning the gap between mating surfaces without full-ring shimming. The 0.0150-inch thickness allows incremental adjustment when used in layered stacks with other shims of the same or different gauges.

Key Features

• 1075 spring steel construction for strength and durability in load-bearing applications
• Shortening shim type for precise gap reduction between mating surfaces
• 0.0150-inch nominal thickness with a tolerance of plus or minus 0.00075 inches
• 0.751-inch inside diameter fits 3/4-inch screw or shoulder diameter
• Packaged in quantities of 50 to support repetitive assembly or stock applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard replacement shim for mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/4-inch bore shortening shim in 1075 spring steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using standard hand tools. Before installation, ensure the mating surfaces are clean, flat, and free of burrs or debris that could affect stack height accuracy. Shims should be inspected for deformation before use. Always de-energize and lock out any machinery before disassembling bearing or shaft assemblies to install or replace shims.
