Slotted Shim Assortment D-5
This slotted shim assortment from Maudlin Products provides a range of stainless steel alignment shims for precise machinery spacing. It contains eighteen individual thicknesses from .001 in up to .125 in, all cut to a 5 in by 5 in trade size D format. The shims feature a tabbed design with a 1 5/8 in slot width and 3 5/8 in slot depth for easy insertion and removal around existing bolts or shafts. Mechanics and maintenance technicians use these to correct alignment on motors, pumps and gearboxes.
Stainless Steel Construction
Each shim is made from 18-8 grade stainless steel with a plain finish for corrosion resistance in industrial environments. The material tolerances are held to a thickness tolerance of +.001/+ .125 in and length and width tolerances of +/- .015 in. The tab height measures 1 in and tab width 2 1/2 in for secure handling during installation. These material properties and dimensional controls ensure the shims maintain their thickness under load without deforming.
Thickness Range Limits
The assortment covers a specific thickness range from .001 in to .125 in using the listed increments of .001, .002, .003, .004, .005, .01, .015, .02, .025, .05, .075 and .125 in. Gaps between available thicknesses mean precise adjustments falling between these values require stacking multiple shims, which adds complexity. The maximum single shim thickness of .125 in limits the correction possible without combining pieces. Buyers needing thicknesses outside this range or finer intermediate steps will need additional shim sets.

Questions about this item
Will the 0.001 in stainless shims wear out and need replacing?
The 18-8 stainless steel shims resist corrosion and deformation, so the 0.001 in pieces last through repeated alignment cycles without scheduled replacement.
What limits how many 5 in shims I can stack for a single adjustment?
The tab height of 1 in and slot depth of 3 5/8 in set the practical stack height before the shims become unstable or the tabs no longer engage.
Does the stainless assortment heat up or make noise during all-day use?
The plain-finish 18-8 stainless shims are passive metal pieces; they generate no heat, draw no power and produce no audible noise in continuous service.
