Thrust bearing washers, track washers, shaft and housing washers
As sufficiently hardened and stiff parallel partners for thrust bearings, these products make a cost-effective substructure possible that does not need to be hardened or ground.
AS
Thrust bearing washers are hardened and polished shaft washers for needle roller thrust bearings and can be used as housing and shaft washers for thrust needle roller and cage assemblies as long as the housing is sufficiently rigid and geometrically accurate.
Series:
AS-0414 to AS-160200
LS
Track washers have ready-ground raceways for thrust needle roller bearings and cylindrical roller bearings and can be used as housing and shaft washers as long as no precise centering is required.
Series:
LS-1528 to LS-160200
WS
Shaft washers are ready-ground raceways for thrust needle roller and cage assemblies whose tolerances are manufactured to match the spinning shaft. They have an undersize fit with respect to the housing so that they can rotate freely toward the housing.
Series:
WS-811 - WS-812
WS-893 - WS-994
GS
Housing washers are ready-ground raceways for thrust needle roller and cage assemblies whose tolerances are manufactured to match the housing. They have an undersize fit with respect to the shaft so that they can rotate freely toward the shaft.
