341-4708: 263 M Outer Diameter Thrust Plate

Description: A Thrust Plate is to control the axial movement or thrust of the crankshaft in an internal combustion engine. It is responsible for maintaining the proper position of the crankshaft along its axis. The axial forces generated by combustion and the reciprocating motion of the pistons can cause the crankshaft to move back and forth. The thrust plate acts as a buffer between the engine block and the crankshaft, absorbing and distributing these axial forces. By controlling the axial movement of the crankshaft, the thrust plate helps to prevent excessive wear, vibration, and damage to the engine components. It is ensuring the smooth operation and longevity of the engine. Attributes: • Withstand the constant sliding and friction • Ensures precise control and optimal engine performance. Applications: A Thrust Plate is used to control the axial movement of the crankshaft. It is mostly used in Cat 160M Motor Grader, 3516, 3608, C175-16, C175-20 and C32 Engine (Piston), 785D, 789D, 793, 793D, 793F, 794, 795F, 796, 797, 797B, 797F and 798 Truck, C175-12, C175-16 and C175-20 Generator Set, D11T Track Type Tractor, PR43C Locomotive
