Precision Brand 81405 Slotted Shim Stock 10 Piece

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 81405 is a slotted stainless steel shim stock used to fill gaps, set clearances, and align components in mechanical assemblies. Each piece measures 0.03 mm thick, 4 inches long, and 100 mm wide, with a 1-1/4 inch wide slot for easy insertion around shafts, bolts, and fasteners without full disassembly. The package includes 10 pieces. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds dimensional stability under load, making this shim stock a reliable choice for precision alignment work in industrial, HVAC, and mechanical service environments. Machinists, millwrights, and field service technicians are the typical end users.

This shim stock is suited for residential and commercial mechanical applications where precise gap setting or component alignment is required. Common uses include aligning motors, fans, pumps, and bearing housings. The slotted design allows the shim to slide into position around an installed fastener or shaft, reducing teardown time during service calls. The 100 mm width provides adequate coverage for most standard flange and base-plate alignment tasks encountered in HVAC and light industrial settings.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted shim stock for use in mechanical alignment applications involving motors, pumps, fans, and similar equipment requiring precise clearance control.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, HVAC technicians, or mechanical service professionals. De-energize and lock out all equipment before inserting or adjusting shim stock. Slide the shim into position through the slot rather than forcing it under load to avoid bending or distorting the material. Verify final alignment with appropriate measuring tools before returning equipment to service.
