Description
Product Overview
The Precision Brand stainless steel slotted shim is a high‑quality component designed for demanding industrial applications. Crafted from premium 304 stainless steel, the shim offers exceptional corrosion resistance, dimensional stability, and load‑bearing capacity. Each shim is precision‑cut to exact tolerances, featuring uniformly spaced slots that facilitate fine‑tuning of gaps and easy insertion of fasteners. With a thickness range that accommodates a variety of spacing requirements, this shim delivers consistent performance in machinery alignment, vibration damping, and structural reinforcement.
Usage
The slotted shim excels in environments where precise spacing and durability are critical. Typical use cases include:
- Aligning shafts and bearings in heavy‑duty equipment
- Adjusting gaps in conveyor systems and gear assemblies
- Providing a stable mounting surface for sensors and control panels
- Supporting load distribution in structural frames and brackets
- Facilitating maintenance by allowing quick removal and re‑installation
Designed for engineers, maintenance technicians, and OEMs, the shim integrates seamlessly into existing assemblies without the need for additional tooling. Its stainless steel construction ensures reliable operation in humid, corrosive, or high‑temperature settings commonly found in manufacturing plants, food processing facilities, and marine applications.

FAQ
What thickness options are available?
The slotted shim is offered in thicknesses ranging from 0.5 mm to 5 mm, with each size adhering to strict tolerance limits to ensure precise fit.
Can the shim be used in high‑temperature environments?
Yes, the 304 stainless steel material retains its mechanical properties up to 870 °C (1600 °F), making it suitable for most high‑temperature industrial applications.
How do I determine the correct slot spacing for my project?
Slot spacing is standardized at 5 mm center‑to‑center, but custom spacing can be requested for bulk orders. Consult our technical team with your specifications for a tailored solution.
Is the shim compatible with non‑stainless steel components?
Absolutely. The shim’s non‑magnetic nature and corrosion‑resistant surface allow it to be used alongside aluminum, carbon steel, and other common industrial materials without adverse reactions.
What is the lead time for bulk orders?
Standard inventory items ship within 3‑5 business days. For custom thicknesses or large volume orders, lead times are typically 2‑3 weeks, depending on the quantity and any special finishing requirements.
