High-Quality DIN 125 Shim Washers Manufactured in the UK
Stephens Gaskets is one of the UK’s most established specialists in shim washer manufacturing, with decades of experience producing precision-engineered components for automotive, industrial, engineering and mechanical applications. As stated in the original article, we produce and stock shim washers in a wide variety of specifications, including the highly popular DIN 125 shim washer range.
Every shim washer we manufacture is made to support correct alignment, improve machine reliability and prevent costly internal component damage.
What Is a Shim Washer?
A shim washer is a precision spacer designed to fill unnecessary gaps inside machinery. These gaps can cause internal parts to move, leading to friction, shock and vibration.
According to the sourced text, shims must be made from strong, durable materials so they can absorb impact and prevent premature wear inside mechanical systems.
By inserting a shim washer into the gap, you create a tight, stable alignment that reduces safety risks and ensures long-term performance.
What Are DIN 125 Shim Washers?
DIN 125 shim washers are a standardised type of washer designed according to the DIN 125 specification, ensuring consistent dimensional accuracy and performance.
The original blog states they are especially suitable for surface protection and electrical insulation applications.
Stephens Gaskets manufactures DIN 125 washers in a wide range of:
- Diameters.
- Thicknesses.
- Materials.
- Finishes.
This makes them highly versatile for mechanical assembly, load distribution, and protective spacing.

FAQs
1. Where can I buy DIN 125 shim washers from a UK manufacturer?
Stephens Gaskets supplies DIN 125 shim washers directly from our UK facility, offering precision manufacturing, stock availability and fast nationwide delivery.
2. Do you produce DIN 125 washers in custom thicknesses or diameters?
Yes. Using advanced laser cutting technology, we manufacture bespoke DIN 125 washers to exact measurements for specialist or non-standard applications.
3. What materials are available for DIN 125 shim washers?
We offer DIN 125 washers in multiple materials, including steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminium and plastic – depending on mechanical, insulation or corrosion-resistance requirements.
4. Can DIN 125 shim washers help reduce vibration or friction damage?
Yes, shim washers absorb vibration and prevent components from moving unnecessarily inside the mechanism. This reduces internal wear and improves reliability.
