Precision Brand 81315 Slotted Shim Stock Stainless Steel 10pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 81315 is a slotted stainless steel shim stock used to fill gaps, align machinery components, and set precise clearances in mechanical assemblies. Each piece measures 0.1 mm thick, 75 mm wide, and 3 inches long, with a 7/8-inch wide slot that allows the shim to slide around a bolt or shaft without full disassembly. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds up in wet, oily, or high-temperature environments. This product ships in a 10-piece pack, making it practical for jobs that require multiple adjustment points or staged fitting work. Millwrights, maintenance technicians, and precision assembly workers are the primary installers.

Slotted shim stock like the 81315 is used in industrial maintenance, pump and motor alignment, conveyor and gearbox shimming, and general machine tool setup. The slotted design is particularly suited to applications where a bearing housing, motor foot, or mounting plate must be shimmed without removing the fastener entirely. At 0.1 mm thickness, this shim provides fine-increment adjustment in assemblies where tight tolerances are required. It is suitable for both light manufacturing and heavy industrial settings where stainless steel is specified for its corrosion resistance.

Key Features

• 0.1 mm thickness for fine-tolerance gap adjustment
• 7/8-inch wide slot allows installation around fasteners without full bolt removal
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion, oil, and moderate heat
• 75 mm width accommodates a wide range of mounting foot and flange sizes
• 10 pieces per package for multi-point shimming jobs
• 3-inch length suits standard motor and pump base applications

Compatibility

Designed as a slotted shim stock replacement or supplement for machinery alignment applications requiring 0.1 mm stainless steel shims with a 7/8-inch slot width.

Installation Notes

Slotted shim stock is installed by maintenance technicians and millwrights as part of precision alignment procedures. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before inserting or removing shims from under motor mounts, pump bases, or bearing housings. Use a feeler gauge or dial indicator to confirm final clearance after shimming. Do not compress shims beyond their rated thickness, as this can introduce measurement error into the alignment.
