Precision Brand 42435 Stainless Steel Slotted Shim

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 42435 is a stainless steel slotted shim used for precision alignment and leveling of machinery in industrial and mechanical service environments. Measuring 4 inches x 4 inches with a thickness of 0.015 inches, this shim fits into tight clearances where exact positioning is critical. The slotted design allows technicians to slide the shim into place without fully disassembling the equipment. It is suited for use on motors, pumps, generators, compressors, and other plant machinery where maintaining tight tolerances is required for proper operation.

This shim is commonly used in commercial and industrial settings during equipment installation, realignment after maintenance, or when correcting settling or vibration-related misalignment. Mechanical technicians and millwrights reach for this type of shim when fine-tuning shaft alignment, leveling base plates, or shimming flanged components. The stainless steel construction holds up in environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or temperature cycling that would degrade carbon steel or laminated shims.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments
• Slotted design allows installation without full equipment teardown
• 0.015 inch thickness for fine tolerance adjustment
• 4 inches x 4 inches footprint fits standard motor and pump base configurations
• Sold as a pack with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-purpose shim for motors, pumps, generators, and other plant machinery requiring precision alignment and leveling.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical technicians or millwrights following established alignment procedures. De-energize and lock out all equipment before inserting or adjusting shims under any machinery base or mounting foot. Use a dial indicator or laser alignment tool to verify final alignment after shimming. Follow applicable facility maintenance standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines for allowable shimming tolerances.
