Celebrating nearly 70 years in the business, Stephens Gaskets has developed a far reaching network of partners for precision machined components. Our machined washers are made from bar rather than sheets, or coil, or strip and we can provide any material available in bar spec, in any diameter.  Stephens Gaskets is a leading turned parts manufacturer, which means we have state-of-the-art equipment, the best team in the business and the experience to go with it. We guarantee the best, most cost-efficient solutions for your washer manufacturing process. No matter how big or small your request, we can deliver.   

High volume, low cost

Our machines are geared up for medium-to-high volume, as they can run lights out 24 hours a day. If required we can have them running seven days a week, so high-volume turned washers is something we excel at. Whether you need brass, steel, aluminium, stainless steel, or any other material, we can deliver exactly what you want at a price point you’ll be happy with.   

State-of-the-art equipment

Our machines are state of the art, including our sliding head lathes, which are bar fed lathes. As a result, we can offer very tight tolerances, to achieve the tolerances specified on customer's drawings. As a turned parts manufacturer all of our precision machined components meet ISO 9001 standards, so as a result, we have batch traceability for the material. We also have a dimension report, so you know you’re getting top quality machined washers.

From start to finish, optimum care is built into every phase of production. Companies choose us as their turned parts manufacturer because we can deliver exactly what you want, when you want it, at the best price.
