Thrust washers PAW
Main function:
- Absorbing and transferring axial forces coming from one direction
- Fixing moving components to each other
- Ensuring axial guidance accuracy over the entire service life
KS PERMAGLIDE® Thrust washers PAW are available in two material groups:
- Material group P1 for maintenance-free, dry-running applications
- Material group P2 for low-maintenance, lubricated applications
When is it best to use P1 thrust washers?
- if lubrication (oil, grease) is not possible or not permitted
- for operating temperatures between -200°C and 280°C
- or low to medium sliding speeds, depending on the type of material max. 0.8m/s to max. 2m/s
- if high axial loads occur. In contrast to flange liners, thrust washers have practically 100% bearing
- surfaces available and can therefore accept higher axial loads
When is it best to use P2 thrust washers
- where lubrication (oil, grease) is used
- where higher sliding speeds (up to 3.3m/s) are required
- for increased impact load or edge loading
- where exact flatness is achieved through machining (not P20 and P202)
Basic advantages of thrust washers from the P1 or P2 group:
- low installation space requirements
- extremely easy assembly
- low friction value
- good chemical resistance
Note
Please comply with the temperature range of -40°C to 110°C. Thrust washers should be secured where required. This can be achieved via pinning, screwing, sticking or other construction measures.Online Catalogue
