Description
Product Overview
The Precision Brand stainless steel shim (model 22320 22L10) is engineered for demanding industrial environments where exact spacing and alignment are critical. Measuring 7 × 3 × 3 inches and weighing 2.25 lb, the shim offers a substantial surface area while remaining easy to handle. Crafted from high‑grade stainless steel, it resists corrosion, wear, and deformation, maintaining its dimensions even after repeated use. The shim’s flat, uniform thickness provides predictable performance for precision machinery, tooling, and equipment assembly.
Usage
Designed for a wide range of applications, this shim excels in machine alignment, fixture setup, and equipment calibration. It is ideal for:
- Industrial machinery where precise gap control prevents vibration and wear.
- Tool and die making, offering a stable platform for fine adjustments.
- Maintenance and repair tasks that require temporary or permanent spacing solutions.
- Laboratories and clean‑room environments where stainless steel’s hygienic properties are essential.
Why Choose Us
Precision Brand has a reputation for delivering components that meet stringent engineering standards. Each shim undergoes rigorous dimensional testing to guarantee tolerance compliance within ±0.001 in. The stainless steel alloy is selected for its superior strength‑to‑weight ratio and resistance to rust, ensuring the shim performs reliably in humid or chemically aggressive settings. Our manufacturing process includes a final passivation step, enhancing surface finish and further protecting against corrosion.

FAQ
What is the thickness of the shim?
The shim’s thickness is precisely 0.125 in, measured and verified during production to meet industry tolerance standards.
Can this shim be used in food‑processing equipment?
Yes. The stainless steel grade complies with FDA‑acceptable standards, making it safe for use in sanitary environments such as food‑processing and pharmaceutical facilities.
Is the shim reusable after cleaning?
Absolutely. The material’s corrosion resistance allows the shim to be cleaned with standard industrial solvents and reused without loss of dimensional integrity.
How does the shim compare to aluminum alternatives?
Stainless steel offers greater strength, higher temperature tolerance, and superior corrosion resistance compared to aluminum, making it the preferred choice for high‑stress or moisture‑prone applications.
What is the best method for installing the shim?
Place the shim on a clean, flat surface and gently tap it into position using a rubber mallet or a soft‑face hammer to avoid surface deformation.
