What it is for
- A part that takes up the friction between two rotating parts
- Receive a sample before the rest of the batch is made
- Order without paying for a mould or a minimum quantity
Axial play shim washer: a part that takes up the friction between two rotating parts. We produce it to order, at the exact size your job calls for.
You do not need a 3D file to order. A dimensioned drawing, a photograph taken square-on with a ruler beside the part, or the broken part sent to us by post is enough: we rebuild the geometry and submit the file to you before anything is manufactured.
The three materials we recommend for this part. PA6-CF, our default choice: stiff, light, very low creep. This is the material for parts kept under permanent load that must not deform over time. PETG-CF: the most useful compromise in the range: the toughness of PETG plus the dimensional stability of the fibre. For when it has to be both strong and accurate. PP: living hinges and chemical resistance. It is the only material in the range that will bend thousands of times in the same place.
Envelope up to 350 × 350 × 350 mm, quantities from 1 to several hundred, precision matched to what the part has to do rather than to a commercial standard. All twenty workshop materials remain available for this part, from PLA to carbon-filled PPS rated at 200 °C: if your constraint differs from the one we assumed, tell us and we change material without changing the starting price.
Why work with us. The part you cannot find any more. Mould destroyed, manufacturer gone, reference discontinued: this is where we have no competition. A photograph, a set of dimensions or the broken part is enough to make it again. Short lead time, made in France. Workshop in Morsang-sur-Orge, near Paris. Firm quotation within 24 working hours, and every part inspected before dispatch. No tooling, no minimum order. Injection moulding needs a mould costing thousands of euros, paid back over tens of thousands of parts. Here there is no mould. One part costs one part. Order 1 unit or 500, the price hides no set-up fee.
Your part, to your dimensions. Send us your 3D file, a dimensioned drawing, a photograph, or simply the part to be copied: we reproduce it faithfully or adapt it, from a single unit, with no tooling cost at all. The images on this page show typical work and are not contractual.

| PA6-CF | stiff, light, very low creep. This is the material for parts kept under permanent load that must not deform over time. |
|---|---|
| PETG-CF | the most useful compromise in the range: the toughness of PETG plus the dimensional stability of the fibre. For when it has to be both strong and accurate. |
| PP | living hinges and chemical resistance. It is the only material in the range that will bend thousands of times in the same place. |

Axial play shim washer in PA6-CF: temperature resistance 120 °C continuous; three times the price of PETG: only worth it if the load demands it; other option, PETG in most cases.
Another material is possible: tell us the real constraint (temperature, UV, impact, contact) and we will suggest one.
What we commit to
| Unit volume up to 350 × 350 × 350 mm |
| From 1 to several hundred parts |
| Usual tolerance ±0.3 mm, ±0.15 mm on request |
| PA6-CF recommended — 20 materials available |
Frequently asked
Do you handle production runs?
Up to several hundred identical parts. Beyond a few thousand frozen units, injection moulding becomes the better answer and we will tell you so.
What is your minimum quantity?
One. There is no mould to pay off, so there is no minimum quantity to reach before the price makes sense.
How long for a quotation?
Within 24 working hours. If you upload a file on the quotation page, the price appears immediately.
