Description
Thrust washers are located in a housing recess between a rotating surface and a stationary component and secured with a slit pin or grub screw.
They are there to support the axial load or prevent any side-to-side movement on a shaft, providing a supportive surface for a bearing.
Where are thrust washers used?
Trust washers are found in high-wear machines and appliances such as power tools and washing machines, plus any transportation device with axles, moving parts and rotating components.
