WS Series

WS Series Bearing Washers for Cylindrical and Needle Roller Thrust Bearings

The WS Series bearing washers are precision-engineered components used in conjunction with cylindrical or needle roller thrust bearings. They are specifically designed to serve as shaft-side washers, providing a hardened and stable raceway surface to ensure optimal load distribution and long-term operational efficiency.

Key Features

• High Axial Load Capacity: Ideal for supporting heavy axial loads in one direction.
• Shaft-Side Compatibility: Designed to act as the shaft washer, providing stability and reducing wear in thrust bearing assemblies.
• Hardened Steel Construction: Enhances durability and performance under continuous or shock axial loads.
• Precision Ground Surface: Minimizes friction and allows for smooth bearing rotation.

Common Applications

WS series washers are widely used in industrial environments requiring compact thrust bearing designs, including:

• Gearboxes
• Hydraulic pumps
• Heavy-duty machine tools
• Off-road and construction vehicles

Compatibility and Installation

The WS Series is commonly paired with AXK needle roller thrust bearings and K-series cylindrical roller thrust assemblies. Its design ensures a perfect fit on the shaft side, working in conjunction with housing-side washers such as the GS Series.

Conclusion

With their high precision and robust design, WS Series Bearing Washers are a critical component in axial load management for advanced mechanical systems. Their shaft-side compatibility and long service life make them a preferred choice across demanding applications.
