Premium Stainless Steel Shims Manufactured in the UK
Stainless steel shims are one of the most widely used components produced at Stephens Gaskets. Customers rely on these shims for their strength, durability and consistent performance, particularly when fitting critical components inside mechanical devices.
Because quality is at the heart of every product we manufacture, our stainless steel shims deliver long-lasting stability in demanding conditions – ensuring that the machinery you build, maintain or repair always performs safely.
What Are Stainless Steel Shims?
Gaps inside machinery can lead to:
- Unwanted movement.
- Misalignment.
- Wear and tear.
- Friction damage.
- Safety risks.
By inserting a stainless steel shim, you create a tight, stable alignment, improving machinery performance and reducing the risk of failure.
Why Stainless Steel Is the Material of Choice
1. High Strength and Durability
Stainless steel is one of the toughest shim materials available, able to withstand heavy loads and operational pressure.
2. Corrosion Resistance
This makes stainless steel suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, including environments exposed to moisture, oils or chemicals.
3. Versatility Across Industries
Its resilience means stainless steel shims perform reliably even in harsh, high-demand environments.
4. Long-Term Performance
Even in challenging conditions, stainless steel delivers stable, repeatable behaviour.
At Stephens Gaskets, we manufacture both pre-cut stainless steel shims and bespoke components tailored to your exact specifications.
