Precision Brand 42360 Stainless Steel Slotted Shim 5-pack

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 42360 is a stainless steel slotted shim designed for precision alignment and leveling in industrial and mechanical applications. Each shim measures 3 inches x 3 inches x 0.100 inches and is sold in a pack of five. The slotted design allows the shim to be inserted or removed around a shaft, bolt, or mounting foot without full disassembly of the equipment. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments. This pack is a standard choice for millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors performing alignment work on rotating or stationary equipment.

These shims are suited for use in industrial plant maintenance, commercial mechanical rooms, and equipment installation where precise leveling or alignment correction is needed. Typical applications include shimming under motors, pumps, generators, compressors, and other base-mounted machinery. The slotted configuration makes them practical for field adjustments without requiring complete equipment teardown, which reduces downtime during maintenance operations.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in harsh or wet service environments
• Slotted design allows installation and removal without full shaft or fastener disassembly
• 0.100-inch thickness provides a precise, consistent shim increment for alignment corrections
• 3 inches x 3 inches footprint fits a wide range of motor and pump base configurations
• Pack of 5 supports multiple shim points or stacked shim applications in a single purchase

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose alignment and leveling use under motors, pumps, generators, and other base-mounted plant machinery where a 3-inch slotted shim profile is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Millwrights and mechanical maintenance technicians typically install shims as part of shaft alignment or equipment leveling procedures. De-energize and lock out the equipment before placing or adjusting shims under any machinery. Shims may be stacked to achieve the required thickness, but verify that the combined stack remains within the equipment manufacturer's base clearance tolerance. Follow applicable facility safety procedures and manufacturer alignment specifications during installation.
