Roller Thrust Bearing Washers

Roller Thrust Bearing Washers are a type of rotary bearing that allow rotating parts to move smoothly while supporting axial loads (those parallel to the shaft) in one direction. They consist of roller elements encased in a cage, which sits between two thrust washers or raceways. Because they cannot support radial loads (where the load is perpendicular to the shaft), thrust bearings are a good choice for applications where shaft misalignment is unlikely. Thrust washers are flat washers that create a smooth surface for roller elements to ride on without wearing out. They help prevent movement along the axis of a shaft bearing an axial load. Thrust washers are typically used as fatigue liners for soft housing faces or combined with needle roller and cage assemblies for additional support.

Come to Grainger for thrust washers to help prevent movement along the axis of a shaft bearing an axial load. Use them as fatigue liners for soft housing faces or combine with needle roller and cage assemblies to form complete needle roller thrust bearings. Standard thrust washers can perform well in automotive engines. Shop Grainger for durable thrust washers in a variety of inch and metric sizes.
