Precision Brand 42345 Stainless Steel Slotted Shim

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 42345 is a stainless steel slotted shim designed for precision alignment and leveling of industrial equipment. Measuring 3 inches x 3 inches x 0.025 inches, this shim slips into position without full disassembly of the machinery, thanks to its slotted design. It is used to correct misalignment on motors, pumps, generators, and similar plant machinery. Weighing 0.61 pounds per pack, it is a compact, durable solution suited for maintenance technicians and millwrights working in industrial and commercial environments.

This slotted shim is appropriate for use in plant maintenance, equipment installation, and machinery alignment applications. The slotted opening allows the shim to be placed around a shaft or fastener without removing the bolt, which speeds up the shimming process during motor and pump installations or realignments. It is commonly used in facilities maintenance, manufacturing plants, and mechanical rooms where precise equipment leveling is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights or maintenance technicians. Power down and lockout/tagout all equipment before placing or adjusting shims beneath machinery. The slotted design allows the shim to slide into place around an existing fastener, but verify that the shim is fully seated and that all fasteners are properly secured before returning equipment to service. Follow applicable facility safety and machinery alignment procedures throughout the process.
