Precision Shim Stock 44135

This blue polyester shim stock comes in a 5 by 20 inch sheet with a nominal thickness of .005 inch. It is designed for electricians and technicians who need thin, non-metallic spacing material for alignment, insulation or leveling tasks.

Capacity and headroom

The sheet handles continuous temperatures from -90 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and absorbs only .08 percent moisture. Thickness tolerance is +/-5 percent with width and length tolerances of +/- .0625 inch, so it stays consistent for precise gap filling but is not rated for structural load bearing.

Practical limits of the material

Polyester compresses to 1 percent and has no rated temper, making it unsuitable for high-shear or repeated impact applications. Buyers who need metal shims, adhesive backing or thicker stock for heavy machinery alignment should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the .005 in shim fit alongside my existing 5 in wide spacers?

The sheet is 5 in wide with a +/- .0625 in tolerance so it aligns with other 5 in components.

How do I verify the .005 in thickness after cutting a piece?

Measure with a micrometer; the material holds a +/- 5 percent thickness tolerance.

Does the 5 x 20 in sheet come pre-cut or do I need a separate cutter?

The sheet ships as a single 5 x 20 in piece; cutting tools are not included.
