A Thrust Washer is used to withstand axial loads and prevent components from sliding sideways. Unlike standard flat washers, which are used to distribute load across a wider area, thrust washers are used to handle loads in a single direction along an axis. Thrust washers are made from high-temperature resistance materials that can handle high loads.Attributes:• Protects the joint surface from damage during the tightening process• Improves the durability of the component by reducing friction and wear• Helps to absorb and dampen vibrationsApplications:A Thrust Washer is used to maintain a tight connection and reduce friction and wear between the fastener and the surface it is being secured, and helps to prevent the fastener from digging into the surface or causing it to deform.
