Precision Brand 42355 Stainless Steel Slotted Shim 5-pack

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 42355 is a slotted stainless steel shim used to correct alignment and leveling issues on motors, pumps, generators, and other rotating or stationary plant machinery. Each shim measures 3 inches x 3 inches x 0.075 inches and is manufactured from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and dimensional stability under load. The slotted design allows the shim to slide into position around a fastener or shaft without requiring full disassembly of the machine. This pack contains 5 shims, making it practical for multi-point leveling jobs or for stocking a service kit.

These shims are suited for industrial maintenance and millwright work where precise alignment is required during equipment installation or realignment after service. Common applications include base plate leveling under electric motors, pump alignment, gearbox positioning, and machinery shimming on production floors. The stainless steel construction makes them appropriate for wet, oily, or chemically exposed environments where carbon steel shims would corrode and lose thickness accuracy over time.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows installation without removing anchor bolts or fully disassembling mounting points
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in harsh industrial and wet environments
• Consistent 0.075-inch thickness supports accurate, repeatable alignment stacking
• 3 inches x 3 inches footprint fits standard motor and pump base plate applications
• Pack of 5 provides multiple shims for multi-point leveling or service inventory

Compatibility

Designed for use as alignment and leveling shims under motors, pumps, generators, and general plant machinery with base plates or mounting flanges that accommodate a 3 inches x 3 inches slotted shim.

Installation Notes

Shim installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or maintenance technician following the equipment manufacturer's alignment procedures. De-energize and lock out all equipment before adjusting shims under motor or pump bases. Use a precision level or laser alignment tool to verify correct positioning after shimming. Do not exceed the load rating of the fasteners or base plate when stacking multiple shims.
