A Thrust Washer is designed to support axial loads and minimize friction between rotating parts within a final drive system. Its primary function is to facilitate smooth movement and prevent excessive wear in applications where axial forces are present. Attributes:• Provides axial support to the sun gear• Reduces friction between the sun gear and its housing, minimizing wear• Enhances the overall efficiency and performance of the transmissionApplications:The Thrust Washer is located between the Sun Gear and its housing in the transmission system. By maintaining the proper axial position of the sun gear, the thrust washer ensures smooth gear engagement and precise gear ratios in the transmission system.
