A Thrust Plate is installed between the camshaft and the engine block or cylinder head. It serves the primary function of controlling the axial movement of the camshaft. It has a flat and smooth surface that allows it to make direct contact with the camshaft. This ensures proper distribution of load and minimizes friction between the two components.Attributes:• Withstands the forces and loads exerted by the camshaft• Ensures proper positioning and stability of the camshaft.Applications:A Thrust Plate helps maintain the axial position of the camshaft, which is essential for precise valve timing and optimal engine performance.
