Precision Shim Stock

This stainless steel shim roll measures six inches wide by one hundred inches long with a thickness of 0.005 inches. It meets AMS 5906B and ASTM-A-666-03 standards and carries a Rockwell hardness of C40-45. The material grade is 18-8 stainless steel with a tensile strength of 185,000 psi. It suits tool and die setup work requiring tight tolerances.

Tight Tolerance Control

Width tolerance is held to +/- 0.005 inches and thickness tolerance to +/- 0.00025 inches. Length tolerance is +/- 0.250 inches over the full roll. These tight limits reduce the need for rework during alignment and spacing tasks. The full hard temper keeps the shim flat and dimensionally stable under load.

Simple Cut And Fit

The roll format lets users cut exact lengths with standard shears or snips. No adhesive backing is present so placement relies on friction or mechanical clamping. Burrs on cut edges can interfere with precision fits so deburring is recommended. Buyers who need pre-cut shapes or adhesive backing will not find them here.

Questions about this item

How often will the 0.005 in thick stainless steel shim roll need replacement under normal use?

The 0.005 in thick 18-8 stainless roll is made to AMS 5906B and ASTM-A-666-03 with Rockwell C40-45 hardness and 185,000 psi tensile strength, so it resists wear and corrosion during repeated tool and die set-ups.

What dimensional limit is reached first when the shim is used continuously in a precision set-up?

Thickness tolerance of ±0.00025 in is the tightest control, so thickness consistency becomes the limiting factor before width (±0.005 in) or length (±0.250 in) variations matter.

Does the full-hard temper cause the roll to generate heat or noise when left in place all day?

The shim is a passive stainless steel strip with no moving parts, so it produces no heat, noise or power draw during extended use.
