About Thrust Washers
Thrust washers are used as a bearing surface for rotary applications. They are usually made of steel, bronze, plastic, or other material with low friction coefficients. Thrust washers, sometimes called rotary thrust washers, are washers designed to prevent movement along the axis of a shaft. Thrust bearings support an axial load on a shaft. A thrust bearing can be a plate at the end of a shaft, or a device against which a collar on the shaft presses. Banded thrust bearings and washers are reinforced by a band encircling the outer edge. Precision-engineered thrust washers are used in high-wear applications such as transmissions, power take-offs, pumps, axle assemblies, motors, and winches. Thrust washer kits contain thrust washers of varying thicknesses for correct installation during component assembly. Standard thrust washers are made for products such as automotive engines. Thrust washer manufactures are located across the United States and around the world.
