Thrust Plate

High-Strength Thrust Plates & Thrust Washers

Thrust washers and thrust plates are typically flat components situated between fixed and rotating parts, and they are crucial engine parts for off-road machinery. These components bear and transmit axial loads, prevent axial displacement, and reduce friction and wear. Whether used for crankshafts, camshafts, or in transmissions and drive systems, thrust washers and thrust plates are indispensable components in off-road machinery engines. FridayParts offers durable and high-strength engine spare parts, ensuring the efficient and reliable operation of your engine and related systems under harsh conditions.

FAQs

Why are thrust washer bearings flat?

The flat design ensures smooth operation under high loads, reducing friction and wear. It is also suitable for tight spaces, ensuring a close fit between components.

What other applications use engine bearings and thrust washers?

Besides off-road machinery, they are used in cars, buses, trucks, motorcycles, ships, and more.

What materials are commonly used for thrust plates and thrust washers?

They are typically made from steel, aluminum alloys, copper alloys, and high-performance engineering plastics, known for their wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature stability.

What are common issues with thrust plates and thrust washers, and how can they be resolved?

Excessive wear: This may be due to overload or insufficient lubrication. 

Solution: Check if the load is within specified limits and ensure proper lubrication.

Excessive noise: This can result from uneven surfaces or incorrect installation of thrust washers or thrust plates. 

Solution: Check surface flatness and ensure proper installation.

Axial displacement: This is usually due to wear or failure of thrust washers. 

Solution: Regularly inspect and replace worn washers.
