Thrust washers - KVK
Plain thrust washers (bearings) are simple, single-piece elements without rolling components, operating through sliding contact where the shaft moves against the washer surface. They offer an economical and reliable solution that requires minimal installation space and is easy to mount. Compared to rolling bearings, they have lower speed and load-carrying capacity. Their main applications include rotary, oscillating, and linear motions. They are available in versions that require lubrication, as well as self-lubricating types with PTFE coating that operate without additional grease.
