Thrust Washer
Volvo

The Thrust Washer is designed to manage axial loads and control endplay in rotating assemblies, distributing pressure evenly to minimize wear on mating surfaces. By maintaining proper lash between gears, bearings, or shafts, it helps preserve alignment and reduces parasitic friction that can sap efficiency. The washer is manufactured to precise thickness and diameter specifications to ensure consistent spacing and load transfer across the assembly. Its hardened or treated surface resists micro-wear and stands up to lubrication regimes common in heavy-duty gear trains, steering gear, and hub interactions. Correct installation prevents excessive axial movement, reduces noise, and extends the life of related components by maintaining stable operating clearances. This part plays a quiet but essential role in achieving smooth operation, reliable performance, and long service life in demanding Volvo applications.
