Darwen Diesels stock a vast range of shims.

Shims are used for changing performance parameters on injectors. Shims vary in thickness from 1 micron which is .001mm.

Diesel fuel injectors vary significantly depending on the manufacturer of the injector and the application. For example, one Bosch injector can have up to 7 types of adjustment which require 7 different shapes or sizes of shim.

With Delphi there is a button – rather than a shim – ranging from 3mm to 4.9mm. The increments are .05mm between each one.

With Denso there are 5 shims each affecting different performance characteristics of the injector such as start of injection, ball cup movement, and armature tension.

With Siemens there are 3 shims and 1 button which include an actuator shim, start of injection and maximum fuel delivery.
