Axial bearing washers

Axial bearing washers are essential components used in conjunction with ball or roller bearings to provide additional support and prevent misalignment. They help distribute the load evenly across the bearing surfaces, improving performance and extending the bearing’s lifespan. At Bearing Depot, we provide a range of washer types and our Axial Bearing Washers are ideal for multiple uses. View our sizes below ¦

The Benefits of Axial Bearing Washers

Even Load Distribution: By dispersing the load evenly across the bearing surface, axial bearing washers reduce stress and wear, extending the bearing’s lifespan.

Reduced Friction: Well-designed washers minimise friction between the bearing and housing, resulting in smoother operation and improved efficiency.

Enhanced Sealing: In specific applications, axial bearing washers can act as seals, protecting the bearing from contaminants.

Vibration Dampening: By absorbing vibrations and shock loads, axial bearing washers contribute to quieter operation and extended bearing life.

Simplified Installation: Axial bearing washers often simplify the assembly process, offering a precise and consistent mounting surface.

Applications of Axial Bearing Washers:

  • Industrial Machinery: Gearboxes, pumps, compressors, and conveyors
  • Automotive: Wheel hubs, transmissions, and steering systems
  • Aerospace: Aircraft engines and landing gear
  • General Engineering: Various mechanical systems and devices
