Precision Brand 42455 Stainless Steel Slotted Shim 5-pack

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 42455 is a slotted stainless steel shim used to correct alignment and leveling on motors, pumps, generators, and other industrial machinery. Each shim measures 4 inches by 4 inches with a thickness of 0.075 inches. The slotted design allows technicians to slide the shim into position without full disassembly of the machinery being shimmed. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion, making these shims suitable for both indoor and outdoor plant environments. This pack includes 5 shims, providing enough material for multi-point leveling jobs or repeat service calls on the same equipment.

These shims are commonly used in industrial and commercial maintenance applications where precise equipment alignment is critical. Typical use cases include leveling pump bases, aligning motor mounts, and correcting machinery foundations on production floors or mechanical rooms. The slotted configuration is especially useful when full bolt removal is not practical during realignment work.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Slotted design allows installation without full bolt removal
• 4 x 4 inch footprint fits a wide range of motor and pump base configurations
• 0.075 inch thickness provides a consistent, measurable correction increment
• Pack of 5 shims supports multi-point or multi-unit alignment jobs

Compatibility

Designed for use with motors, pumps, generators, and general plant machinery requiring alignment or leveling correction at bolted mounting points.

Installation Notes

Shim installation is typically performed by millwrights, industrial mechanics, or licensed equipment technicians. Power down and lock out all energy sources on the equipment before shimming any rotating machinery. Use a dial indicator or laser alignment tool to confirm proper alignment after shims are placed. Do not stack more shims than necessary to achieve the required correction, as excessive stacking can reduce joint rigidity.
