Thrust Needle Roller Bearing - Washer (AS)

• Thin thrust washer.
• The metric series thin thrust washers are made of hardened spring steel.
• Thin washers are used when the supporting or backing members cannot be adequately prepared as raceways for the needle rollers.
• These washers are only 1.000 mm (0.0394 in) thick, and provide a very compact and cost-effective bearing arrangement.
• Although they are usually guided on the shaft, they may be housing-guided, when required by the application.

About Thrust Bearings, Assemblies, Washers

• Dimensions for bore and O.D. of thrust assemblies and washers are nominal.
• Thrust washers burnished at least one - quarter of bore area (remainder is rough breakaway finish).
• O.D. finish of washers will be as blanked.

About Mounting Tolerances Thrust Needle Roller And Cage Assembly

• Thrust needle roller and cage assemblies are complements of small diameter needle rollers, arranged in a spoke-like configuration.
• Needle rollers are equally spaced by means of a cage, its web section separates the rollers and provides guidance to keep them tracking in an orbital path.
• The purpose of these assemblies is to transmit a thrust load between two relatively rotating objects while greatly reducing friction.
• Thrust needle roller and cage assemblies also can be unitized with lipped washers to serve as raceway surfaces for the needle rollers.
• Washers can be supplied separately or can be mechanically unitized to the thrust needle roller and cage assemblies for ease of handling.
