Precision Brand 42305 Stainless Steel Slotted Shim 20 Pack

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 42305 is a stainless steel slotted shim designed for precision alignment and leveling of industrial machinery and mechanical equipment. Each shim measures 3 inches by 3 inches with a thickness of 0.001 inches, providing an ultra-thin, consistent layer for fine-tuning component positioning. The slotted design allows the shim to slide into place around fasteners without full disassembly of the equipment. This pack includes 20 individual shims, making it a practical choice for job sites and maintenance departments that require multiple adjustments or need backup inventory on hand.

These shims are suited for use in industrial and commercial maintenance applications where precise alignment is critical. Common use cases include motor mounting, pump base leveling, generator feet adjustment, and general plant machinery alignment. The stainless steel construction holds up in environments where corrosion, moisture, or temperature cycling are concerns. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors working in facilities, manufacturing plants, and utility environments will find these shims useful for both scheduled maintenance and reactive repair work.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds dimensional stability under load
• Ultra-thin 0.001-inch thickness for fine precision alignment adjustments
• Slotted design allows installation around existing fasteners without full disassembly
• 3 x 3 inch footprint fits a wide range of motor, pump, and machinery mounting pads
• Pack of 20 provides enough quantity for multi-point leveling or repeat service calls

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted shim for alignment and leveling of motors, pumps, generators, and similar plant machinery where a 3 x 3 inch shim footprint is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, mechanical contractors, or experienced maintenance technicians. Before shimming any rotating equipment, de-energize and lock out the machine per applicable LOTO procedures. The slotted opening allows placement around anchor bolts without loosening fasteners completely, though bolts should be backed off enough to permit proper seating of the shim. Stack shims only as needed and verify alignment with a dial indicator or laser alignment tool after torquing fasteners to the equipment manufacturer's specification.
