Precision Brand 81545 Slotted Shim Stock Stainless 10pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 81545 is a slotted stainless steel shim stock used to fill gaps, align components, and adjust clearances in mechanical assemblies. Each piece measures 1 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 full disassembly. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds its dimension under load. This pack contains 10 pieces. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians keep slotted shim stock on hand for leveling equipment, aligning flanges, and setting bearing clearances.

Slotted shim stock is commonly used in industrial maintenance, HVAC equipment alignment, pump and motor base leveling, and general mechanical service work. The slot design makes installation faster in confined spaces where sliding the shim in from the side is more practical than lifting the assembly. The stainless steel grade is appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or where corrosion resistance is required. This pack of 10 provides enough material for multiple adjustment points on a single job or repeated use across service calls.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows installation around fasteners or shafts without full disassembly
• 1 mm thickness provides a precise, consistent shim increment
• 125 mm width offers broad bearing surface for stable alignment
• 1-5/8 inch wide slot accommodates common shaft and bolt diameters
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or humid environments
• Pack of 10 pieces supports multi-point alignment jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted shim stock suitable for mechanical alignment and gap-filling applications across industrial, HVAC, and maintenance trade work.

Installation Notes

Slotted shim stock is installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and HVAC service pros during equipment alignment or leveling procedures. De-energize and lock out all equipment before inserting or adjusting shims under or around any moving or pressurized assembly. Use a feeler gauge or dial indicator to verify final clearance after shim placement. Do not stack excessive shim layers without verifying load capacity for the application.
