This Boston Gear thrust washer transmits and resolves axial forces in rotating mechanisms and keeps components aligned along a shaft. It is made of hardened steel for strength and durability. Thrust washers are an affordable alternative to rolling thrust bearings for applications involving moderate forces and velocities. This thrust washer has a .375" inner diameter (ID), a .625" outside diameter (OD), and is .125" thick. It is suitable for use for use in low-speed applications that do not require the use of ball bearings such as power tools, appliances, and conveyors, among others.
Boston Gear manufactures gears, gear drives, bearings, valves, shaft collars, couplings, and other power and fluid transmission components. The company, founded in 1877, is headquartered in Charlotte, NC, and meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001:2008 standard.
