Housing washers for cylindrical and needle roller thrust bearings are supplied as separate components. They are made of hardened carbon chromium bearing steel and have a precision-ground raceway surface and a ground outside surface. The washers can be combined with roller and cage thrust assemblies and shaft washers to create complete bearings. SKF recommends using GS washers for high-speed applications where accurate centring of the washers is required.
