Precision Brand 81520 Slotted Shim Stock Stainless Steel 10pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 81520 is a slotted stainless steel shim stock used to set precise clearances, align components, and fill gaps in mechanical assemblies. Each piece measures 0.2 mm thick, 5 inches long, and 125 mm wide, with a 1-5/8 inch wide slot that allows the shim to slide around a shaft or fastener without requiring full disassembly. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds its geometry under load. This package includes 10 pieces, making it a practical stock item for maintenance shops, millwrights, and field service technicians who need consistent shim material on hand.

Slotted shim stock of this type is used across a wide range of mechanical and industrial applications, including HVAC equipment alignment, pump and motor base leveling, bearing housing adjustments, and general machinery setup. The 0.2 mm thickness suits fine-tolerance work where stacking thin shims is preferred over using a single thicker piece. The 125 mm width provides enough material to span typical mounting flanges and base plates encountered in commercial and industrial service work.

Key Features

• 0.2 mm thickness for precise fine-tolerance shimming and stacking applications
• 1-5/8 inch wide slot allows installation around shafts or fasteners without full disassembly
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and maintains dimensional stability
• 125 mm wide by 5 inch long format suits standard mounting flanges and base plates
• Package of 10 pieces supports repeat jobs and shop stock replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted shim for mechanical alignment tasks including motor and pump base leveling, equipment mounting, and bearing housing adjustments where a 0.2 mm stainless steel shim is specified.

Installation Notes

Slotted shim stock is typically installed by millwrights, HVAC mechanics, and industrial service technicians during equipment alignment procedures. Power down and de-energize all equipment before placing or adjusting shims under motors, fans, or pump bases. Use a feeler gauge or dial indicator to confirm final alignment after shimming. Do not compress or deform shim material by overtightening fasteners beyond what the equipment manufacturer specifies.
