Overview
Stainless steel shim washers, fabricated and finished in our own workshops
Tooling, stamping, laser cutting, bending, welding and surface finishing all run in our eleven workshops in Foshan — the part never leaves the plant between steps.
A shim washer does one job: take up a gap measured in hundredths of a millimetre. The U-type slot means it can be slipped over a shaft or a screw without taking the assembly apart, which is why it is used for adjustment rather than for load.
Thin stainless sheet is punched to the outer diameter, the inner diameter and the slot in one hit, then deburred so the shim lies flat and does not score the face it sits against. Because the sheet is thin, flatness is checked before packing; a shim with a curl changes the clearance it was meant to set.
Tell us the shaft diameter, the outer diameter and the thickness you need, and whether the shim goes under a screw head or over a shaft. Thicknesses are stacked from the sheet gauge you specify.
In-stock items start at one piece. Custom and OEM projects are quoted from your drawing, with the die designed and maintained in our own tool shop.

Why this drawing matters. Every tolerance, hole position and bend radius on this page is confirmed against a drawing during quotation — so what you approve is what gets inspected at the end of the line. The published drawing is a generic sample, never a customer's file.
What we are certified for
- ISO 9000 — the quality management system behind our stamping, finishing and assembly, from incoming material to final inspection.
- CCC — China Compulsory Certification, the domestic market access mark.
What comes with your order
- Batch inspection record — dimensional and appearance checks for the run, written up in English.
- Material certificate — mill certificate for the steel or aluminium heat, on request.
- Third-party inspection — SGS, TÜV, BV or your own QC are welcome at the plant before loading.
Marks we do not print (UL, CE, RoHS, ETL)
These are applied for by the importer in its own market — the normal division of labour in this trade. What we supply is samples, material data and process records for your test house, and manufacture and inspection to whichever standard your drawing names (ASTM, EN, ISO). No mark goes on a part we have not tested.
Why this part
Six things that decide whether a custom part arrives right
Every one of them sits inside our own plant, on the same floor as the parts.
26 presses + 350T drawing
160T × 2, 100T × 4, 80T × 8 and 60T × 12 presses, plus a 350T hydraulic press for deep-drawn housings and larger shells.
In stock from 1 pc
Standard items ship from stock with no minimum order. Custom and OEM runs are quoted from your drawing, with tooling built here.
Tooling made in-house
Three utility patents on our own tooling. The die is built and maintained by the same team that runs the press, so a design change moves with the part.
Documented, not decorated
ISO 9000 and CCC held. Each batch leaves with an inspection record, material certificates on request, and third-party inspection is welcome before loading.
Inspect before you pay
SGS, TÜV, BV or your own QC team can walk the line and inspect finished parts at our plant. Reports go to you, not to us.
Production process
How the order runs on our floor
Five steps, in this order, all in Foshan.
1
Drawing review
Send a PDF, DWG, DXF or STEP file. We check material, sheet thickness, tolerance and surface finish, and flag anything that needs adjusting before quoting.
2
Tooling in-house
Dies are designed, cut and maintained in our own tool shop — three utility patents on our tooling. A design change moves with the part.
3
Pressing & forming
26 presses from 60T to 160T blank, pierce and form the part, and the same floor bends wire, tube and strip. A component does not travel between suppliers to be finished.
4
Deburring & finishing
Parts are deburred, tumbled where the edge has to be soft, then plated or powder coated. The finish goes on after forming, so the bend and the hole edges are covered.
5
Inspection & shipment
Incoming checks, in-process checks and a final layout inspection. SGS, TÜV, BV or your own QC team are welcome before loading.
Factory
Made in Foshan since 2004
We run 13,000+ m² across eleven workshops in Foshan, Guangdong, China, with 51–100 staff. Sheet metal is the whole plant: the die is built where the part is stamped, the finish is applied where the part is formed, and a quality question is answered by the people who made the part.

How to order
From drawing to delivery
Four steps, no account required. We reply within one working day.
1 Send your drawing
PDF, DWG, STEP files or a physical sample all work. Tell us the quantity you have in mind — one piece is a valid starting point.
2 Engineering review
We confirm material, tolerance and surface finish, and flag anything that needs adjustment before quoting.
3 Sample first
A prototype is produced in 3-5 days so you can verify fit, finish and assembly before committing to volume.
4 Mass production
Laser cutting, CNC bending, punching, welding and in-house surface treatment are all completed under one roof for consistent quality.
OEM and ODM projects are welcome, and we can support you in meeting your target-market certification requirements. Stainless steel shim washers are produced in our Foshan factory, where 26 punch presses plus CNC laser cutting and bending equipment handle both one-off prototypes and repeat production runs.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The questions buyers ask most before requesting a quote.
How accurate is the thickness?
The shim is made from sheet of a stated gauge, so the thickness is the sheet tolerance, not a machined value. If you need a ground thickness, that is a different process and we will quote it as such.
Can I stack them to reach a gap?
Yes, that is the usual way to use them. Stacking two shims gives you the sum of the two gauges, so tell us the target and we suggest a combination.
Will the slot deform under a screw head?
Under a normal preload the shim is supported by the face it sits on. For a high-preload joint, a full washer is the safer choice.
Can you quote from a sample instead of a drawing?
Yes. A sample is measured and turned into a drawing for you to confirm. For hardware that is often faster than writing the drawing first.
What certificates come with the order?
We hold ISO 9000 for quality management and CCC, the China compulsory certification. Every batch ships with an inspection record, and mill certificates for the material are available on request. Marks such as UL or CE are applied for by the importer in its own market; we supply the samples, material data and process records a test house asks for.
