6N-8940: 128.575mm Outer Diameter Thrust Plate

Description: A Crankshaft Thrust Plate is used to control axial movement or thrust in the crankshaft. Its primary function is to absorb and distribute the axial forces or thrust loads generated by the reciprocating motion of the pistons. The Thrust Plate acts as a friction surface, allowing the crankshaft to slide axially while providing a low-friction interface. Attributes: • Steel backed aluminum is used as material • Provided with an oil groove • Maintains proper alignment of the crankshaft, prevents excessive movement • Minimizes wear between the crankshaft and the engine block or main bearing caps Applications: A Crankshaft Thrust Plate is positioned at one or both ends of the crankshaft, between the crankshaft and the engine block or main bearing caps to prevents the crankshaft from moving excessively forward or backward, this is widely used in Cat Motor Grader, Engine (Piston), Excavators, Generator Set, 3306B Generator (Power), Skidder, Pipelayer, Wheel Tractor Scrapers, Scraper, Track Type Tractor, Wheel Type Tractors, Compactor, Wheel Loader, Track Loader, Tree Harvester, Paving Equipment, Articulated Truck, Cargo - Tanker, Power Shift, Material Handler, Powertrain.
