Shims, Washers & Gaskets


Shims, washers & gaskets are critical components for industries, such as Aerospace and F1.
We photo etch simple washers and complex F1 head gaskets to safety-critical aerospace washers, shims, gaskets and titanium shims for the space industry.

Key Facts About Shims, Washers & Gaskets


product-components

Flat or Assembled

They can be flat, formed or assembled for a variety of technical applications, including aerospace, F1 & precision engineering.

product-components

Burr-Free

All are burr-free with no rough edges that could interfere with mating parts.

product-components

Digital Tooling

Digital tooling is used to give flexibility in the complexity of the design, lower cost and speedy delivery.

product-components

3D Formed Components

3D formed or lipped gaskets can be produced in-house. In addition, a range of surface finishing is available, including electroplating, electropolishing and passivation.

Benefits of the etching Process

  • Low set-up costs and fast lead times make chemical etching a go-to process in batch sizes of one to multiple millions.

  • The tooling for etching is digital, low-cost and can be modified quickly

  • No heat or force is used when etching so mechanical properties remain unaltered and parts are free from stresses and burrs.

  • As component features are etched at the same time so part/feature complexity is not an issue
