Precision Brand 42210 Stainless Steel Slotted Shim 20-pack

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 42210 is a stainless steel slotted shim designed for precision alignment and leveling of industrial and commercial machinery. Each shim measures 2 inches x 2 inches with a thickness of 0.002 inches, making it suitable for fine-tolerance shimming applications. The slotted design allows the shim to slide into position around a fastener or shaft without requiring full disassembly of the equipment. This pack includes 20 shims, providing enough material to address multiple alignment points in a single service visit. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds its dimension under load, which is critical when shimming rotating equipment.

These shims are used to correct alignment and leveling on motors, pumps, generators, compressors, and other plant machinery in industrial, commercial, and mechanical service environments. Maintenance technicians and millwrights rely on slotted shims during equipment installation and realignment after wear. The 0.002-inch thickness fits into stacks with other shim stock to achieve precise final clearances without machining.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows installation without full fastener removal
• 2 inches x 2 inches footprint fits standard motor and pump base configurations
• 0.002-inch thickness for fine-tolerance alignment stacking
• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and dimensional stability under load
• Pack of 20 shims for multi-point or multi-unit service jobs

Compatibility

Designed for alignment and leveling applications on motors, pumps, generators, and general plant machinery where a 2 inches x 2 inches slotted shim is required.

Installation Notes

Shim installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or maintenance technician familiar with machinery alignment procedures. De-energize and lock out the equipment before placing or adjusting shims under any machine base. Use a calibrated dial indicator or laser alignment tool to verify final alignment after shimming. Do not exceed the load rating of the shim stack — multiple thin shims stacked to achieve a target thickness is an accepted practice, but avoid excessive stack height that could compromise stability.
