Additional notes

The Thrust Washer/Bushing-Composite is used in X-Ray devices. Thrust washers are long-wearing flat bearings in the shape of a washer that transmit and resolve axial forces in rotating mechanisms to keep a component aligned along a shaft. Thrust washers are an economical alternative to rolling thrust bearings whenever forces velocities are moderate. These thrust washers should be located on the outside diameter in a recess. The inside diameter must be clear of the shaft in order to prevent contact with the steel backing of the DX material. The material used is a highly crystalline thermoplastic that is known for its high flexural and tensile strength, stiffness, hardness, and low creep under stress. The product is tested to work at extreme atmospheric conditions. It is diligently designed for superior performance and reliability. This washer is manufactured using a high precision technique which offers the good dimensional accuracy. The good dimensional accuracy of the assembly helps provide the precise fit in the required assembly. The product is an Innovation and technology which fits well into versatile customer needs. It is manufactured using high precision techniques which helps to achieve a good surface finish as well as good product consistency. The part is diligently designed for high performance and reliability. It is securely packaged inside a high quality packing box to avoid physical damage during transit and labeled with details about the product, Quality Assurance (QA) seal and shipment details.
