A Thrust Washer is a thin, flat component made of steel. It is placed between two surfaces that are experiencing axial thrust, which is the force that acts parallel to the axis of rotation. It is used to compensate for misalignment between components. It is used to provide a smooth surface for axial movement.Attributes:• Manufactured with Steel which gives excellent strength• Distributes the axial load evenly across the planetary carrier• Manufactured to precise specifications and is built for durability and reliabilityApplications:A Thrust Washer is used in planetary gears to support the axial loads on the planet gears and to prevent them from rubbing against the carrier.
