Precision Brand 42365 Stainless Steel Slotted Shim 5-pack

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 42365 is a slotted stainless steel shim designed for precision alignment and leveling of industrial and mechanical equipment. Measuring 3 inches by 3 inches with a thickness of 0.125 inches, each shim is manufactured from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long-term dimensional stability. This pack includes 5 shims, making it practical for jobs that require multiple adjustment points or incremental stacking. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors use these shims when shimming motors, pumps, generators, compressors, and similar rotating or stationary plant machinery where accurate alignment is critical to performance and bearing life.

These shims are suited for industrial and commercial maintenance applications where machinery must be leveled or aligned on a base plate or mounting surface. The slotted design allows the shim to be slid into position around a bolt or fastener without full disassembly of the equipment. They are commonly used during initial equipment installation, realignment after wear, and preventive maintenance procedures across manufacturing, HVAC mechanical rooms, and utility plant environments.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and consistent thickness under load
• Slotted profile allows installation and removal around fasteners without full disassembly
• 3 x 3 inch footprint fits standard motor and pump base plate configurations
• 0.125 inch thickness provides a defined, repeatable adjustment increment
• Pack of 5 supports multi-point shimming and incremental stacking on a single job

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose alignment shim for motors, pumps, generators, and other plant machinery requiring base-plate leveling or shaft alignment correction.

Installation Notes

Shim installation should be performed by a qualified millwright, mechanical technician, or licensed contractor familiar with machinery alignment procedures. De-energize and lock out all equipment before placing or adjusting shims beneath any motor or mechanical drive component. Use a dial indicator or laser alignment tool to verify shaft alignment after shimming. Do not use damaged or deformed shims, as inconsistent thickness will defeat the purpose of precision alignment.
