Precision Brand 42430 Stainless Steel Slotted Shim 20-pack

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 42430 is a stainless steel slotted shim designed for precision alignment and leveling work in industrial and mechanical applications. Each shim measures 4 x 4 x 0.010 inches and is manufactured from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and dimensional stability under load. The slotted design allows the shim to be inserted or removed without fully disassembling the machinery being serviced. This pack contains 20 shims, making it a practical choice for technicians who perform repeated alignment tasks across multiple pieces of equipment.

These shims are used by maintenance mechanics, millwrights, and field service technicians working on motors, pumps, generators, compressors, and other rotating or stationary plant machinery. The 0.010-inch thickness makes them well suited for fine-tolerance shimming where small incremental adjustments are needed to bring equipment into proper alignment. They are commonly found in industrial plants, mechanical rooms, and equipment pads where precision leveling is a routine part of maintenance work.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and long-term dimensional stability
• Slotted design allows installation and removal without full disassembly of the bolted joint
• 4 x 4 x 0.010 inch dimensions suit fine-tolerance alignment applications
• Pack of 20 provides enough shims for multiple service calls or multi-point leveling jobs
• Consistent thickness across each shim ensures repeatable, reliable alignment results

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted shim for alignment and leveling of motors, pumps, generators, and other industrial plant machinery requiring 0.010-inch shim stock in a 4 x 4 inch format.

Installation Notes

Slotted shims are typically installed by millwrights or qualified maintenance mechanics performing shaft alignment or equipment leveling procedures. De-energize and lock out all power to the equipment before loosening mounting hardware. Insert or remove the slotted shim through the open slot without lifting the machine completely off its mounting surface. Stack shims sparingly and verify alignment with appropriate measurement tools after each adjustment.
