Stainless Steel Shim

Here at Stephens Gaskets we offer the best quality stainless steel shim and foil around – but why use these over other types of shims? And why use Stephens Gaskets?

Reduce Wear & Tear

Basically, a shim or a foil is a thin piece of material (such as metal) which is used to fit in between components (such as in machinery) to adjust the fit or alignment. Over time, parts of machines can get worn away or ground down, resulting in the part losing its functionality, but the introduction of shims can reduce this wear and tear, allowing the machine to last longer and keep to its required levels of accuracy.

Wide Range Of Thicknesses

We offer a wide range of thicknesses (please see the table below), and our stainless steel 304 grade shims come either rolled in a can or flat packed.
