Precision Brand 81205 Slotted Shim Stainless Steel

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 81205 is a slotted shim designed for precise mechanical alignment and spacing applications. Measuring 0.025 mm thick by 50 mm x 50 mm, this shim provides repeatable, accurate gap control in assemblies where tight tolerances are required. Constructed from stainless steel, it resists corrosion and holds its form under moderate load. The slotted design allows the shim to be inserted or removed around a fastener or shaft without full disassembly of the component stack, saving time during setup and adjustment. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This shim is suited for industrial and commercial maintenance environments where precision alignment of machinery, equipment bases, flanges, or structural components is required. The 50 mm x 50 mm footprint fits standard alignment tasks on small-to-medium machinery. The 0.025 mm thickness makes it appropriate for fine-tolerance stacking applications where coarser shim increments are insufficient. It is sold in pack quantities and is compatible with other shim stock in the PRECISION BRAND line for building up a desired total thickness.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows insertion and removal around fasteners without full disassembly
• 0.025 mm thickness enables fine-tolerance gap adjustment and stacking
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and dimensional stability
• 50 mm x 50 mm square footprint suits a wide range of small-to-medium alignment tasks
• Consistent material thickness ensures repeatable results across stacked shim sets

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted shim for mechanical alignment and spacing applications requiring stainless steel shim stock at a 0.025 mm thickness increment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, machinists, or qualified maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before inserting or adjusting shims in a loaded assembly. Use calibrated measuring tools to verify gap and alignment before and after shimming. Do not exceed the load rating of the assembly or compress shims beyond their rated thickness, as deformation will compromise alignment accuracy.
