- Corrosion resistance from 18-8 stainless steel construction
- Secure placement using 1 5/8 in wide slots
- Ready supply with 20 shims per pack
Precision Slotted Shims for Alignment
This pack contains 20 stainless-steel shims cut to trade size D-5. Each piece measures 5 inches by 5 inches with a 0.025 inch thickness and a 1 5/8 by 3 5/8 inch slot. The tabbed design allows quick insertion and removal during machine setup or structural leveling tasks.
Durable 18-8 Steel With Tight Tolerances
Material is full-hard 18-8 stainless steel with a plain silver finish. Thickness tolerance is held to +/- 0.001 inch while length and width tolerances are +/- 0.015 inch. The hard temper resists deformation under load so the shim stack height remains stable in service.
0.025 Inch Thickness Determines Fit
The single critical dimension is the 0.025 inch nominal thickness. Buyers who need a different step size must select another pack because this product only supplies this one increment.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 5-inch D-5 slotted shims and what step is often missed?
Slide each shim onto the bolt or shaft through the 1 5/8-inch slot until the 1-inch tab seats against the flange; the step often missed is verifying the 0.025-inch thickness stack with a feeler gauge before final torque.
What maintenance or replacement will the 18-8 stainless shims need later?
The full-hard 18-8 stainless shims resist corrosion and do not require routine maintenance; replace only if the 0.025-inch thickness is deformed or the tab height is damaged during disassembly.
What limit appears first when the shim pack is under sustained clamping load?
The +/- 0.001-inch thickness tolerance is the first limit; exceeding the material yield point of the full-hard 18-8 stainless will cause permanent thickness loss before the +/- 0.015-inch length or width tolerances are affected.
