Precision feeler gauge strip M318.640 — 0.40 mm thickness, 5 m continuous length (Metav IndustryLine)

The precision feeler gauge strip M318.640 is a continuous shim designed for gap setting, valve shimming and alignment tasks across workshops and maintenance departments, offering a stable 12.7 mm width for guided insertion and manipulation.

• 0.40 mm thickness for consistent shim gaps
• 5 m continuous length for long runs and adjustments
• 12.7 mm width for stable handling and insertion
• Supplied in sturdy transport case for safe storage

Longer runs, fewer joints — efficiency in assembly and maintenance

A continuous 5 m strip reduces the need to splice multiple sheets and speeds up repetitive adjustments on long assemblies. The nominal 0.40 mm thickness provides a defined shim that simplifies gap control and torque feel during assembly operations; combined with an accuracy of ±0.05 mm, this strip meets typical industrial workshop tolerances. Calling the product an extra‑long class strip reflects its intended use for large components and extended measurement runs, where maintaining consistent thickness along the length is essential for reproducible results.

Stable handling and precise placement for reliable results

With a 12.7 mm width and a low mass (approx. 0.24 kg for the delivered item), the strip balances ease of handling and insertion stability, reducing the risk of twisting during placement. The material finish and the uniform thickness make it suitable for repetitive insertion into narrow gaps and valve seats; the physical dimensions aid technicians when positioning shims in confined spaces, enabling quicker, less error‑prone work than loose cuttings or irregular stock.

Protected delivery and workshop readiness

The strip is supplied in a dedicated transport case to protect the length during storage and transit, a particularly relevant detail for measurements and shimming work on-site. This delivery format reduces surface damage and contamination, helping maintain the documented ±0.05 mm accuracy across the strip. Sourcing from Metav IndustryLine also brings the reassurance of a European quality filter based in Emmerich, where inventory and quality checks support consistent product batches for regular industrial use.

Practical uses and compatibility with standard procedures

Engineers and maintenance technicians will find the continuous strip suitable for shimming tasks in assemblies, setting end‑play, bedding in bearings or aligning flanges. The dimensional data facilitate planning: the length removes the need for frequent re‑joining, the thickness defines the initial shim increment, and the accuracy aligns with routine inspection limits. Where documentation is required for assembly records, the strip’s clear dimensions make it straightforward to trace and record the shim value used.
