This precision thrust race serves as the hardened bearing surface for axial loads in a rotating mechanism. Replacing a worn race reduces friction and noise, helping restore smooth, consistent motion and protect companion thrust bearings and washers from accelerated wear.

• Provides the hardened bearing surface for a thrust bearing assembly
• Supports axial load and helps maintain proper end-play in the mechanism
• Reduces friction to allow smoother rotation under load
• Wear may present as grinding/scraping noises, rough or binding motion, excessive axial play, or visible scoring

• Disconnect power and shut off water/gas before servicing
• Access the thrust-bearing area; note the order and orientation of races, bearings, and washers for reassembly
• Clean mating surfaces; replace any worn companion parts and lubricate only if specified by the service documentation
• Seat the new race fully and verify free movement by hand before reassembly and testing
