Precision Brand 42205 Slotted Shim 2x2x0.001 in Stainless Steel

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 42205 is a slotted stainless steel shim designed for precision alignment and leveling of industrial machinery. Measuring 2 inches by 2 inches with a thickness of 0.001 inches, this shim provides an extremely fine adjustment increment suitable for tight-tolerance applications. The slotted design allows the shim to be inserted or removed around a bolt or fastener without fully disassembling the equipment. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds its shape under sustained mechanical load. Maintenance technicians and millwrights use these shims when bringing motors, pumps, generators, and similar rotating equipment into proper alignment.

This shim is appropriate for use in industrial, commercial, and plant-maintenance settings where precise leveling or alignment is required. Common applications include base plate shimming under electric motors, pump feet, gearboxes, compressors, and other machinery mounted to a structural base. The 0.001-inch thickness allows fine incremental stacking to achieve exact target heights or angular corrections during alignment procedures.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows installation and removal without full fastener disassembly
• 0.001-inch thickness enables fine, incremental alignment adjustments
• 2 inches x 2 inches footprint suits standard motor and pump base plate applications
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and dimensional stability under load
• Stackable with other shims of the same or different thicknesses for cumulative height correction

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted shim for alignment and leveling of motors, pumps, generators, and other plant machinery where a 2-inch by 2-inch footprint and 0.001-inch thickness are appropriate.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights or maintenance technicians during machinery alignment procedures. Before inserting or adjusting shims, de-energize all connected motors and lock out and tag out the equipment per applicable LOTO procedures. The slotted opening allows the shim to slide into position around an existing bolt without removing the fastener entirely. Multiple shims may be stacked to achieve the required cumulative thickness; verify final alignment with a dial indicator or laser alignment tool after shimming is complete.
