Precision thrust washers are used in high-wear applications such as transmissions, Pumps, axle assemblies, & motors etc. Thrust washer family contains selection of thicknesses for correct installation during component assembly. Standard thrust washers are made for products such as automotive engine.
Thrust washers can be made from case-hardened steel, through-hardened steel, stainless steel, bronze, phosphorous bronze, and brass. Thrust washers can be made in standard thicknesses, with various inside and outside diameters as needed. Important considerations include flatness and parallelism requirements, surface finish, heat treatment, through hardening, phosphating, Electroplating with different types of passivation.
