SKF AS Universal Washer For Use With Needle Roller hrust Bearing, AS 2542

Need to protect bearings and their neighbouring components from the cut and thrust of movement? This universal washer from SKF is just the ticket. Its disc-shaped design makes it a cinch to mount on standard shafts, while its flat, smooth surface helps distribute loads evenly. Steel construction means you can rely on it for strength and durability. This reduces the potential for wear and tear caused by rotating parts and axial forces. With an inside diameter of 25mm and outside diameter of 42mm, this is a good fit for both cylindrical and needle-roller thrust bearings.

• Helps to secure and position bearings, for versatility
• Single-piece construction makes it easy to change or replace
• Narrow width of 1mm, so you're not adding bulk to your setup

• Automotive industry
• Machine tools
• Domestic appliances
• Construction sites
• HVAC systems

Both cylindrical and needle-style thrust bearings use rollers rather than balls to assist movement. Needle bearings have very thin rollers with a pin-like shape that gives the bearing its name. Needle-roller thrust bearings are useful where axial space is tight, while cylindrical roller thrust bearings are handy for supporting heavy axial and impact loads.
