Precision Brand 81215 Slotted Shim Stock Stainless Steel 10pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 81215 is a slotted stainless steel shim stock designed for precise mechanical alignment and spacing in industrial, commercial, and trade applications. Each piece measures 0.1 mm thick, 2 inches long, and 50 mm wide, with a 5/8-inch wide slot that allows the shim to slide around a fastener or shaft without requiring full disassembly of a joint. This package contains 10 pieces. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and dimensional stability under load, making these shims suitable for use in environments where moisture, chemicals, or temperature variation are factors. Millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics typically use shim stock of this type to achieve tight tolerances during equipment installation and alignment work.

These slotted shims are used in a wide range of mechanical alignment tasks including pump and motor base leveling, flange alignment, machinery footing adjustment, and bearing seat correction. The slotted design eliminates the need to fully remove bolts when inserting or removing a shim, which reduces downtime during installation and adjustment. At 0.1 mm thickness, this shim is well suited for fine-increment adjustments where stacking multiple shims is required to reach a target gap or offset value. Suitable for both field service and shop floor use in HVAC equipment installation, mechanical contracting, and industrial maintenance.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows installation and removal without fully removing fasteners
• 0.1 mm thickness supports fine-increment alignment stacking
• 50 mm wide by 2 inch long profile fits a range of machinery footing and flange applications
• 5/8-inch wide slot accommodates common fastener sizes
• Stainless steel material resists corrosion and maintains dimensional stability
• 10 pieces per package for on-hand inventory during multi-point alignment jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted shim stock suitable for mechanical alignment and spacing tasks across industrial, commercial, and trade installations where a 0.1 mm stainless steel shim is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors during equipment alignment procedures. De-energize and lock out all equipment before inserting or adjusting shims under machinery feet or between mating surfaces. Use a feeler gauge or dial indicator to verify final gap or alignment values after shimming. Do not compress shims beyond their rated thickness by over-torquing fasteners, as this can affect alignment accuracy.
