Precision Alignment Shims
The Maudlin Products MSD050-10 pack contains ten slotted stainless-steel shims designed for machinery alignment and spacing tasks. Each piece measures five inches square with a nominal thickness of .050 inches. The soft annealed 18-8 grade material allows easy trimming or bending on site. Maintenance technicians and millwrights use these tabbed shims to level motors, pumps and gearboxes during installation or overhaul.
Thermal And Power Behaviour
As passive metal spacers the shims generate no heat, draw no power and produce no audible noise during operation. The stainless construction resists corrosion in damp or chemically exposed environments without degrading. Dimensional stability is maintained across normal industrial temperature ranges. No active cooling or electrical supply is required for the product to function.
Build Quality And Daily Use
The shims are stamped to a thickness tolerance of .001 inches with length and width held within .015 inches. A 1 5/8 inch wide by 3 5/8 inch deep slot fits over anchor bolts or studs while the one-inch tab provides a grip for insertion and removal. The plain silver finish shows wear marks that help verify contact patterns. Ten pieces per pack support multiple adjustment points or repeat jobs.

Questions about this item
How do you install the 5 in slotted shim and what is the common mistake?
Slide the 1 5/8 in slot over the bolt, seat the 1 in tab flat against the surface, then torque the fastener; the error is tightening before the tab is fully flush, which leaves a gap.
What maintenance or replacement will the stainless steel 18-8 shim need later?
The soft annealed finish resists corrosion, so no routine maintenance is required; replace only if the 0.050 in thickness is deformed or the +/- 0.001 in tolerance is exceeded.
What limit appears first when the shim is under sustained load?
The soft temper yields before the +/- 0.015 in length or width tolerances are breached, so permanent set in the 0.05 in material is the first limit.
