Precision Brand 26168 Round Shim Spring Steel Pack of 50

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 26168 is a 1075 spring steel round shim designed for precision shortening applications in mechanical assemblies. With a thickness of 0.032 inches, an inside diameter of 0.751 inches, and an outside diameter of 0.995 inches, this shim provides consistent dimensional control where tight tolerances are required. It is suited for use in industrial, commercial, and trade applications where a 3/4-inch screw or shoulder diameter is involved. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, and trade technicians rely on this type of shim for leveling, alignment, and spacing in rotating or stationary assemblies. Each package contains 50 shims.

This round shim is used wherever precise axial or radial spacing is needed between mating components. Common applications include shaft alignment, bearing seat adjustment, flange spacing, and mechanical assembly shortening. The 0.032-inch thickness with a tolerance of plus or minus 0.0015 inches makes it appropriate for applications demanding repeatable fitment. It is compatible with 3/4-inch shoulder diameters and standard fastener arrangements of that size class.

Key Features

• 1075 spring steel construction for durability and consistent spring-back resistance
• Thickness of 0.032 inches with a tolerance of 0.0015 inches for tight dimensional control
• Inside diameter of 0.751 inches fits 3/4-inch screw and shoulder configurations
• Outside diameter of 0.995 inches for standard round shim fitment
• Shim type: shortening, suitable for reducing axial play in assemblies
• Sold in a package of 50 for job-site or shop inventory use

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/4-inch screw and shoulder diameter applications requiring a round shortening shim in 1075 spring steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, or trade technicians during assembly or alignment procedures. Ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before seating the shim to maintain dimensional accuracy. Verify that the shim thickness and diameter match the assembly specification before final torque of fasteners. Handle spring steel shims carefully, as edges may be sharp.
