Precision Brand 42340 Stainless Steel Slotted Shim

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 42340 is a stainless steel slotted shim designed for precision alignment and leveling of industrial machinery. Measuring 3 inches x 3 inches with a thickness of 0.020 inches, this shim provides consistent, reliable shimming in tight tolerances. The slotted design allows the shim to slide into position around a fastener or shaft without requiring full disassembly of the assembly. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and deformation under load, maintaining dimensional stability in demanding service environments. Maintenance technicians and millwrights use this part for stationary equipment alignment tasks in plant and facility settings.

This slotted shim is suited for resolving alignment and leveling issues on motors, pumps, generators, and other plant machinery. It is applicable in both light industrial and heavy-duty commercial maintenance scenarios where precise shimming is required at mounting feet or base plates. The 3 x 3 inch footprint accommodates a range of standard mounting configurations commonly found in rotating equipment installations.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows installation without full disassembly of the bolted assembly
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and dimensional stability under load
• 0.020-inch thickness for fine alignment adjustments
• 3 inches x 3 inches footprint fits a wide range of standard motor and pump base configurations
• Sold as a pack with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use shim for motors, pumps, generators, and other plant machinery requiring precision alignment and leveling at mounting surfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a millwright or maintenance technician during equipment alignment procedures. De-energize and lock out the equipment per LOTO procedures before shimming. Slide the shim into position at the mounting foot or base plate, then verify alignment with dial indicator or laser alignment tool before final torquing of fasteners. Do not stack more shims than necessary to maintain load distribution integrity at the mounting surface.
