Precision Brand 81340 Slotted Shim Stock Stainless Steel 10pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 81340 is a slotted stainless steel shim stock designed for precision spacing, alignment, and leveling applications in mechanical and industrial settings. Each piece measures 0.7 mm thick, 75 mm wide, and 3 inches long, with a 7/8 inch wide slot that allows installation around bolts and fasteners without full disassembly. The package includes 10 pieces. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and dimensional stability under load. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians use shim stock like this for equipment leveling, flange alignment, and bearing seat adjustments.

This shim stock is suited for residential and commercial maintenance, industrial equipment alignment, and precision mechanical assembly. The slotted design is particularly useful in tight installations where removing a fastener entirely is impractical. Common applications include motor base leveling, pump flange alignment, conveyor frame adjustment, and HVAC equipment mounting. The stainless steel material holds up in damp or corrosive environments where plain steel shims would degrade over time.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows installation around existing fasteners without full bolt removal
• 0.7 mm thickness for precise gap adjustment and alignment work
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments
• 75 mm width and 3 inch length provide adequate bearing surface for most mechanical fits
• 7/8 inch wide slot accommodates common fastener sizes
• 10 pieces per package for multiple installations or layered shimming

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted shim for mechanical alignment tasks where a 0.7 mm stainless steel shim with a 7/8 inch slot is the required specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using standard hand tools. Isolate or de-energize equipment before shimming motor bases, pump mounts, or rotating machinery. Shims may be stacked to achieve the desired gap but should be installed flat and free of burrs to prevent measurement error. Follow equipment manufacturer torque specifications when re-fastening bolts after shimming.
