Precision Brand 42265 Stainless Steel Slotted Shim 5-pack

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 42265 is a slotted stainless steel shim designed for precision alignment and leveling of industrial and commercial equipment. Each shim measures 2 inches by 2 inches with a thickness of 0.125 inches and is sold in a pack of five. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and long-term dimensional stability under load. Technicians and mechanics reach for shims like these when correcting misalignment on motors, pumps, generators, compressors, and other rotating or stationary plant machinery where tight tolerances matter.

These slotted shims are suited for both light industrial and heavy-duty mechanical installations. The slotted design allows the shim to be slid into position around a bolt or shaft without full disassembly of the assembly, saving significant time during alignment work. Common applications include base-plate leveling, motor-to-pump shaft alignment, equipment shimming on uneven surfaces, and vibration correction on mounted machinery. They are appropriate for use in HVAC mechanical rooms, pump stations, generator pads, and general plant maintenance environments.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and maintains dimensional accuracy over time
• Slotted design allows installation and removal without full bolt disassembly
• 2 x 2 x 0.125 inch profile suits common motor and pump base-plate applications
• Pack of 5 provides enough quantity for multi-point alignment jobs
• Consistent thickness across each shim ensures repeatable, accurate stacking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance shim for use with motors, pumps, generators, and other plant machinery requiring base-plate alignment and leveling at standard bolt patterns.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, mechanical contractors, or HVAC technicians during equipment alignment procedures. De-energize and lock out the equipment before placing or adjusting shims under any motorized machinery. Shims should be stacked uniformly and fully seated under the mounting foot before hardware is torqued down. Follow the equipment manufacturer's alignment specifications and applicable local mechanical codes when performing precision alignment work.
