Precision Brand 42415 Stainless Steel Slotted Shim 20-pack

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 42415 is a stainless steel slotted shim designed for precision alignment and leveling of rotating and stationary plant equipment. Each shim measures 4 inches by 4 inches with a thickness of 0.003 inches, providing a thin, consistent spacer layer suited to fine-tolerance adjustment work. Sold in a pack of 20, this product gives technicians enough material to complete multi-point alignments or level several pieces of equipment in a single job. The slotted design allows the shim to be slid into position around a bolt or shaft without full disassembly of the equipment.

These shims are used in industrial and commercial maintenance settings where motors, pumps, generators, compressors, and other plant machinery require precise leveling or shaft alignment. The stainless steel construction holds up in environments where corrosion, moisture, or temperature cycling would degrade carbon steel alternatives. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors typically use shim stock of this type during initial equipment installation and during scheduled alignment checks.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows placement around fasteners without full equipment teardown
• 4 x 4 x 0.003 inch dimensions suit fine-tolerance alignment applications
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments
• Pack of 20 provides sufficient quantity for multi-point or multi-unit leveling jobs
• Consistent thickness across each shim ensures repeatable, measurable adjustments

Compatibility

Designed for use with motors, pumps, generators, and other plant machinery requiring precision alignment and leveling at standard bolt patterns accommodating a 4 x 4 inch shim footprint.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified maintenance technicians or millwrights following equipment manufacturer alignment specifications. De-energize and lock out all equipment before placing or adjusting shims under any machinery. Use a dial indicator or laser alignment tool to verify alignment tolerances after shimming. Follow applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures throughout the process.
