Trinity Brand Industries M-SW-3 Shim Stock Roll 302 Ss

Product Description

The TRINITY BRAND INDUSTRIES M-SW-3 is a roll of 302 stainless steel shim stock used to fill gaps, adjust clearances, and set tolerances in mechanical assemblies. At 0.003 inches thick, it provides precise, fine-gauge material for applications where tight dimensional control is required. The roll measures 50 inches long by 12 inches wide, giving tradespeople and machinists ample material to cut custom shims to size. The 302 alloy is an 18/8 chrome-nickel stainless steel, offering good corrosion resistance and sufficient spring temper for most shim applications. It is handled by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, and general industrial trades.

This shim stock roll is suited for industrial maintenance, equipment alignment, and precision-fit applications across a wide range of settings. Common uses include leveling machinery bases, adjusting bearing fits, correcting flange gaps, and setting clearances on rotating equipment. The 12-inch width allows for cutting larger shim blanks without piecing, while the 50-inch length accommodates multiple cuts from a single roll. The fine 0.003-inch gauge is appropriate where minimal stack-up or very tight tolerance adjustments are needed.

Key Features

• 0.003-inch thickness for fine-tolerance shimming and precision gap adjustment
• 302 stainless steel (18/8 chrome-nickel alloy) for corrosion resistance in industrial environments
• Roll format: 50 inches long by 12 inches wide for versatile cut-to-fit use
• Wide 12-inch sheet width supports large-format shim blanks without splicing
• Stainless construction resists deformation and maintains dimensional stability under load

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock roll suitable for industrial maintenance, mechanical assembly, and precision alignment applications where 302 stainless steel and 0.003-inch gauge material meet specification requirements.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically cut using aviation snips, a sharp utility knife with a straightedge, or metal shears - de-burr cut edges before installation to prevent injury and ensure a flat seating surface. De-energize, depressurize, or lock out any equipment before inserting shims into mechanical joints or bearing housings. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer tolerances and relevant industry standards when stacking multiple shim layers; minimize stack count where possible to maintain joint integrity. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling thin-gauge stainless stock.
