Thrust Washers & Bearings

Thrust washers are often used in bearing assemblies and in rotating applications. The washers are designed to carry an axial or bearing load. Thrust washers are usually offered with a high hardness and a smooth surface. They are typically supplied in a hardened format, but can also be supplied case hardened when required. Thrust washers can be ground flat and parallel for special situations where tight tolerances and flat surfaces are required. 

Types of Materials

Thrust washers and bearings can also be supplied for lighter and low impact situations in non-metallic Nylon, PTFE, Acetal, POM, and other materials. Thrust washers are most commonly made from steel. On the other hand, they can be supplied in phosphorous bronze, stainless steel, and other metallic materials. Nylon thrust washers are also available with MDS as an additive for wear resistance.

Flat Washers

Applications

Thrust bearings are engineered to facilitate linear motion or rotation near a fixed axis. In addition, this type of washer can be utilized to prevent movement. However, a majority of thrust washers are created to promote movement and reduce friction. The thrust bearings in our catalog are designed to withstand corrosion from a wide array of chemicals. 

Our bearings are assembled to process shock loads in commercial applications. Thrust washers can be utilized to promote fast or slow speeds. Each part is manufactured with strong materials to prevent damage when you start or stop your machinery. If you need to use thrust washers in projects that are high in moisture, we will help you choose a material that will not warp.
