High Carbon Steel Precision Shim Stock, 0.5" Bore, 0.002" Thick
Overview
This precision shim stock is engineered for critical spacing, alignment, and wear compensation in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from high-carbon steel, it provides exceptional tensile strength and resistance to permanent deformation under sustained load and pressure. The material is supplied in a continuous 16.4-foot coil with a pre-punched 0.5-inch inner diameter, enabling efficient custom fabrication of washers, spacers, and shims on-site to exact specifications, minimizing downtime and component inventory.
Key Features
Constructed from high-grade carbon steel for maximum durability and load-bearing capacity. Consistent 0.002-inch thickness ensures precise gap management and alignment. Pre-punched 0.5-inch inner diameter eliminates the need for secondary boring operations. Supplied in a 16.4-foot continuous coil for cost-effective, on-demand cutting to any required outer diameter or shape. Ideal for creating custom shims to compensate for wear, machining tolerances, and assembly stack-ups. Uncoated finish provides a clean, ready-to-use surface suitable for most industrial environments.
