A Thrust Washer is used in Idler to prevent movement along the axis of a shaft. Thrust washers are flat washers that are located between a rotating surface and a stationary component. They support the axial load or side-to-side motion on a shaft and prevent movement along that shaft. The thrust washer provides a surface on which a bearing is supported.Attributes:• Prevent excess movement of the components• Protect against damage by distributing the load uniformly and reducing the tension on the fastener• Surface hardness 80 min HRA for good washer life• Withstands high temperatures without losing their strength or integrityApplications:A Thrust Washer is used help to reduce friction and wear and prevent movement along the shaft by creating a smooth bearing surface for the rotating parts.
