Precision Brand 81450 Slotted Shim Stock Stainless Steel 10pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 81450 is a slotted shim stock strip used for precision alignment, spacing, and leveling applications in industrial and mechanical service work. Each piece is 2 mm thick, 4 inches long, and 100 mm wide, with a 1-1/4 inch wide slot that allows the shim to slide into place around fasteners or shafts without full disassembly. Constructed from stainless steel, this shim stock resists corrosion and holds up in demanding environments. The pack includes 10 pieces. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

Slotted shim stock is commonly used in equipment alignment tasks such as leveling machinery bases, adjusting bearing fits, correcting shaft alignment, and shimming flanges or mounting plates. The slotted design speeds up installation in confined or pre-assembled setups where a solid shim would require full disassembly to insert. This product is suited for both light industrial and heavy industrial environments where stainless steel material is preferred for moisture resistance or cleanliness requirements.

Key Features

• 2 mm thickness provides a consistent, measurable spacing increment for alignment work
• 1-1/4 inch wide slot allows installation around existing fasteners without removing hardware
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemical-exposure environments
• 100 mm width and 4 inch length offer a broad bearing surface for stable load distribution
• Pack of 10 pieces supports multi-point alignment jobs from a single order

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitment shim for general industrial machinery alignment applications where a 2 mm thick slotted stainless steel shim stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Slotted shim stock is typically installed by millwrights or maintenance technicians during equipment alignment or leveling procedures. De-energize and lock out all equipment before inserting or removing shims from any running machinery. Shims should be inspected for burrs or deformation before use, as surface irregularities can introduce alignment error. Refer to equipment manufacturer torque and alignment specifications when finalizing fastener tightening after shimming.
