GS Series

GS Series Bearing Washers for Cylindrical and Needle Roller Thrust Bearings

The GS Series bearing washers are engineered to serve as the housing-side raceways in thrust bearing assemblies that utilize cylindrical or needle rollers. Manufactured from hardened and precision-ground steel, these washers provide a stable, wear-resistant surface for optimal load distribution and smooth rotational movement under high axial loads.

Key Features

• High Load Capacity: Designed to support substantial axial loads in one direction.
• Precision Ground Surface: Ensures smooth operation and minimal friction within the thrust assembly.
• Hardened Steel Construction: Delivers long-lasting performance under heavy-duty operating conditions.
• Compatibility: Used with thrust bearing assemblies like the AXK and K-series and paired with WS shaft washers.

Typical Applications

GS series washers are widely used in:

• Heavy machinery and construction equipment
• Industrial gearboxes and drives
• Automotive and agricultural transmissions
• Machine tools and precision rotary systems

Function in Bearing Assemblies

As housing washers, GS components are mounted in the stationary part of the bearing arrangement. Together with the shaft-side WS Series washers and a roller thrust assembly (e.g., AXK Series), they form a complete axial bearing system capable of operating reliably under high thrust loads with minimal axial space requirements.

Conclusion

The GS Series Bearing Washers provide a dependable and efficient solution for managing axial forces in compact and high-performance bearing arrangements. Their precision and durability make them a critical element in ensuring the smooth and long-lasting operation of thrust bearing systems.
