Precision Brand 81525 Slotted Shim Stock Stainless Steel 10pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 81525 is a slotted stainless steel shim stock designed for precision shimming, alignment, and spacing applications in mechanical and industrial assemblies. Each piece measures 0.25 mm thick, 5 inches long, and 125 mm wide, with a 1-5/8 inch wide slot that allows the shim to slide over a fastener or shaft without full disassembly. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds dimensional stability under load. This package contains 10 pieces. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians use this shim stock where precise gap control is required in equipment installation and alignment work.

This slotted shim stock is suited for leveling machinery, aligning shafts, and setting bearing clearances in industrial, commercial, and mechanical maintenance environments. The slotted design is particularly useful when shimming under bolted flanges, motor mounts, pump bases, or equipment feet where full removal of fasteners is not practical. The stainless steel material makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or where corrosion resistance is a priority.

Key Features

• 0.25 mm thickness for precise gap and alignment control
• 1-5/8 inch wide slot allows installation over fasteners without full disassembly
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and dimensional stability
• 5 inch length and 125 mm width accommodate a range of bolting patterns
• Pack of 10 pieces for multiple installations or replacements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted shim stock for general mechanical alignment and leveling applications where a 0.25 mm thickness and 1-5/8 inch slot width are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, or machinists as part of machinery alignment or equipment leveling procedures. Ensure the equipment is de-energized and mechanically secured before introducing shims under load-bearing surfaces. Use calibrated measurement tools to verify gap dimensions before and after shimming. Handle stainless steel shim stock edges with care, as thin sheet edges can be sharp.
