Description
Overview:
This shim is a precision spacing component for Stihl HOS and USG chain sharpeners. It sits within the sharpener assembly to set accurate clearances and maintain alignment between mating parts, helping the machine grind each cutter consistently. Made from durable metal for long service life, it supports smooth movement and reduces play that can lead to poor sharpening results. Supplied to the original specification with OEM No. 5202 752 1100 (MPN 52027521100), it is suitable for routine maintenance or repair when tolerances need restoring. By keeping the mechanism correctly spaced, it helps preserve cutting performance, reduces unnecessary wear on moving parts, and supports repeatable set-ups in both workshop and on-site environments.
Key Features:
- OEM-specified thickness for accurate spacing and alignment in Stihl HOS and USG sharpeners
- Durable metal construction designed to withstand regular setup and adjustment
- Helps achieve consistent cutter angles and depth gauge accuracy across the chain
- Reduces vibration and play in the assembly for smoother operation
- Supports longer component life by maintaining correct clearances
- Straightforward to fit during servicing or rebuilds; no special tools typically required
- Suitable as a like-for-like replacement or to restore correct stack height when tolerances drift
- Clean, flat faces for reliable seating against mating parts
Typical Applications:
Used during maintenance, repair, or calibration of Stihl chain sharpeners to set precise gaps in clamping, indexing, or carriage components. Ideal when reassembling after part replacement, diagnosing alignment issues, or restoring factory tolerances to improve sharpening accuracy and consistency.
