Precision Brand 42445 Stainless Steel Slotted Shim 4x4x0.025 in

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 42445 is a slotted stainless steel shim designed for precision alignment and leveling of motors, pumps, generators, and other industrial or plant machinery. Cut to 4 inches x 4 inches with a thickness of 0.025 inches, this shim provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant solution where dimensional accuracy is critical. The slotted design allows the shim to slide into place around fasteners without requiring full disassembly of the mounted equipment. Weighing 1.05 pounds, it is solid and easy to handle during installation. Licensed tradespeople and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This shim is suited for mechanical alignment applications in industrial, commercial, and plant maintenance settings. Common use cases include correcting misalignment on motor bases, pump mounts, compressor pads, and generator skids. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where moisture, mild chemicals, or temperature variation could degrade carbon steel shims. It is sold in pack quantities with a minimum order quantity of one pack.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows installation around bolts without full component disassembly
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments
• 4 inches x 4 inches footprint suits standard motor and pump base dimensions
• 0.025 inch thickness provides a controlled, repeatable adjustment increment
• Compatible with motors, pumps, generators, and general plant machinery alignment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-purpose shim for alignment and leveling applications on motors, pumps, generators, and similar plant machinery mounting points.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by millwrights, industrial mechanics, or licensed tradespeople during machinery alignment procedures. De-energize and lock out all equipment before placing or adjusting shims under any mounted machinery. Use a feeler gauge or dial indicator to verify alignment after shimming. Follow applicable machinery manufacturer torque specifications when re-securing mounting fasteners after shimming is complete.
