Maudlin Products 316-005-12-50 Shim Roll 12x50 In 0.127mm
Stainless steel 316 shim roll, 12 by 50 inches and 0.127 mm thick, annealed for spacing and alignment tasks
- TypeAngle, Pitch & Slope Locators
- Precise alignment with ±0.010 in width tolerance
- Consistent spacing from ±0.00025 in thickness tolerance
- Corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel construction
- Easy forming with annealed soft temper
- Meets AMS 5906B and ASTM A666 standards
316 Stainless Shim Roll
This annealed 316 stainless steel shim roll measures 12 inches wide by 50 inches long with a thickness of 0.005 inches. The material meets AMS 5906B and ASTM-A-666-03 standards and offers a Rockwell hardness of C40-45 with tensile strength of 185,000 psi. It is supplied in a small pack for precision spacing tasks.
Replaces Thicker or Harder Shims
The soft annealed temper allows easy cutting and forming without cracking where harder C40-45 stock would resist shaping. Upgrade from carbon steel shims when corrosion resistance is required in marine or chemical environments. The jump is worth it when tight 0.00025-inch thickness tolerance and +/-0.010-inch width tolerance are specified.
Limited by Hand-Tool Forming
The 0.005-inch thickness suits manual snips or shears but is too thin for power-fed slitting without edge distortion. Width tolerance of +/-0.010 inches and length tolerance of +/-0.250 inches mean critical alignments need verification after cutting. Not suited for structural load-bearing gaps exceeding the material yield point.

Questions about this item
What are the exact width and length dimensions of the 316 stainless steel shim roll?
The roll measures 12 inches wide by 50 inches long with a width tolerance of +/- 0.010 in and a length tolerance of +/- 0.250 in.
How should the annealed 0.005 in thick shim stock be cut and shaped without work hardening the material?
Use sharp shears or a fine-tooth bandsaw at low speed; the soft C40-45 temper allows easy forming but work hardens quickly if cut with dull tools or excessive heat.
When will the AMS 5906B certified 316 stainless shim need replacement in a high-load spacing application?
Replace the shim if thickness gauges below the 0.005 in nominal minus the 0.00025 in tolerance, or if surface corrosion appears despite the 316 grade resistance.
