Five silver stainless steel slotted shims with tabs, 4 by 4 inches, 0.1 inch thick

Maudlin Products

Maudlin Products MSC100-5 Slotted Shim C-4 x 4" x 0.100" hand tool

SKU CH-GGMG-8V86H

Pack of five stainless-steel slotted shims, 4×4×0.100 in, for precise spacing and alignment

  • Product typeAngle, Pitch & Slope Locators
  • Precise alignment with ±0.002 in thickness tolerance
  • Five shims per pack for multiple spacing tasks
  • Stainless steel 18-8 resists corrosion in harsh environments
  • Soft annealed temper allows easy bending and fitting
  • Slotted tab design enables quick insertion and removal

Precision Alignment Shims

These stainless-steel slotted shims provide accurate spacing and alignment in mechanical assemblies. Each piece measures four inches square with a point-one-inch thickness and a precise tabbed slot. The pack contains five shims manufactured to tight tolerances for consistent performance.

Maintenance and Assembly Use

Technicians aligning motors, pumps or structural components will appreciate the soft annealed temper that allows easy fitting without cracking. The 18-8 stainless construction resists corrosion in demanding environments. Builders needing thinner or thicker adjustment increments should look at other shim sizes.

Critical Thickness Tolerance

The point-one-inch nominal thickness is held within plus-or-minus point-zero-zero-two inches. This tolerance decides whether the shim stack achieves the exact gap required for the application.

Questions about this item

How often will the 0.100" thick stainless steel shims need replacement under normal alignment work?

The soft annealed 18-8 stainless steel resists corrosion and holds its 0.1 in thickness within ±0.002 in, so replacement is only needed if the shim is bent or the application demands a different thickness.

What dimensional tolerance is reached first when the shim stack is under continuous load?

The tightest control is the ±0.002 in thickness tolerance; length and width are held to ±0.015 in, so total stack height variation appears before length or width changes.

Does the 18-8 stainless material heat up or make noise when left in place all day?

The shim is a passive metal spacer with no moving parts, so it generates no noise and its temperature simply matches the surrounding equipment.
