Keep thrust bearings in their place using this universal washer from SKF. The cylindrical shape means it's a doddle to mount onto standard shafts. A narrow width of 1mm means it takes up minimal space, allowing you to use it with needle-roller thrust bearings on compact machines. For versatility, the washer has a flat, smooth surface that lets you fit it as a shaft or housing washer. This helps you to align bearings and reduce wear and tear on non-hardened machine parts.

• Made from hardened spring steel to handle heavy loads over the long term
• Easy to change over for speedy machine maintenance and adaptations
• Inner diameter of 15mm to work with standard bores on bearings

• Materials manufacturing
• Construction sites
• Domestic appliances
• Machine tools
• Transportation industries

A thrust bearing is one that has a rolling element inside it such as balls or cylinders. These rotate with machine parts to support axial movement. Thrust bearings work on both vertical and horizontal shafts, making them a handy component for gearboxes, drills and pumps.
