The crankshaft thrust bearing is a critical part of an engine that ensures the proper functioning and longevity of the system. It prevents axial movement of the crankshaft, allowing it to rotate smoothly while minimizing friction and wear.
The crankshaft thrust bearing is typically a set of thrust washers or a tapered bearing that fits between the crankshaft and the engine block or transmission case. It absorbs the thrust force generated by combustion and other engine processes, keeping the crankshaft in place and preventing any undesired axial movement.
