Value Collection 41977507D Shim Stock 0.125in Spring Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 41977507D is a flat shim stock sheet made from 1074/1075 tempered scaleless spring steel. It measures 0.125 inches thick, 36 inches long, and 1 inch wide, providing a precise, rigid strip suited for close-tolerance shimming, spacing, and alignment tasks. The tempered spring steel construction delivers consistent hardness and springback resistance across the full length of the strip. This shim stock is sold as a single piece and is used by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians in fabrication, assembly, and equipment-leveling applications.

This shim stock sheet is well suited for industrial maintenance and mechanical assembly work where precise gap filling or part alignment is required. The 1074/1075 spring steel alloy is a common choice for applications requiring moderate hardness, good tensile strength, and resistance to deformation under load. It is appropriate for use in machine bases, bearing fits, conveyor systems, and general metalworking setups where a scaleless surface finish aids in accurate measurement and fit.

Key Features

• 0.125-inch thickness for substantial shimming and gap-filling applications
• 36-inch length provides ample material for cutting to custom sizes
• 1074/1075 tempered spring steel construction for consistent hardness and durability
• Scaleless surface finish supports accurate measurement and clean contact surfaces
• Single-piece sheet format for direct use or shop fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock sheet for industrial maintenance, mechanical assembly, and fabrication applications requiring 0.125-inch steel shimming material.

Installation Notes

Shim stock installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using standard metalworking hand tools, tin snips, or shearing equipment to cut the strip to the required dimensions. De-energize and lock out any machinery before inserting or adjusting shims in moving or load-bearing assemblies. Wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting spring steel stock, as edges can be sharp. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and workplace safety codes when performing alignment or leveling procedures.
