Product Features

• Structure: Precision-machined from a high-strength, wear-resistant bronze alloy. The set consists of two half-moon shaped washers, with locating tabs and a polished surface to ensure precise positioning and low friction.

• Performance: Withstands high axial thrust loads and operating temperatures up to 150°C, maintaining precise crankshaft alignment. The bronze alloy provides excellent friction resistance and durability under heavy-duty conditions.

• Design: Directly interchangeable with the original equipment washer, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal thrust clearance with the crankshaft and cylinder block.

Core Function

1. Axial Positioning: Limits the forward/backward movement of the crankshaft, ensuring proper alignment with connecting rods and pistons.

2. Load Absorption: Absorbs thrust forces generated during engine operation, protecting main bearings and the cylinder block from wear and damage.

3. Stability: Maintains consistent crankshaft positioning, which is essential for proper valve timing and engine balance.

Key Functions and Benefits of the Crankshaft Thrust Washer C06AL-1003652+A

Precision Axial Control

This crankshaft thrust washer sits between the crankshaft journal and the engine block, absorbing axial thrust forces generated during clutch engagement, gear shifting, and load variations. It maintains crankshaft end-play within the manufacturer-specified tolerance of 0.07–0.27 mm, preventing metal-to-metal contact that leads to catastrophic engine failure.

Superior Material Composition

Manufactured from high-grade bimetallic material with a steel backing and aluminum-tin alloy bearing surface, the C06AL-1003652+A thrust washer offers exceptional load-carrying capacity and fatigue resistance. The oil grooves machined into the bearing surface ensure consistent lubrication film distribution even under high-temperature, high-pressure conditions.

Direct Cost Savings for Your Fleet

• Factory-direct pricing — eliminates middleman markups, reducing your per-unit cost significantly
• Extended engine overhaul intervals — precision tolerances reduce premature crankshaft wear
• Reduced downtime — exact OEM-equivalent dimensions ensure first-time-right installation
• Bulk order flexibility — volume discounts available for fleet operators and distributors

Engineered Reliability

Each thrust washer undergoes strict quality control inspection including dimensional verification, surface roughness testing, and hardness checks. Our rejection rate stays below 0.3%, meaning you receive components that perform consistently across your entire inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions — Crankshaft Thrust Washer C06AL-1003652+A

What is the function of a crankshaft thrust washer in a SHANGCHAI engine?

The crankshaft thrust washer controls axial movement (end-play) of the crankshaft within the engine block. Without proper thrust control, the crankshaft can shift forward and backward during clutch operation and load changes, causing accelerated wear on main bearings, oil seal damage, and eventually catastrophic engine failure. The C06AL-1003652+A maintains this critical clearance within 0.07–0.27 mm.

How do I know when the crankshaft thrust washer needs replacement?

Common symptoms of a worn thrust washer include excessive crankshaft end-play (measurable with a dial indicator), unusual knocking sounds during clutch engagement, oil leaks from the rear main seal, and in severe cases, clutch disengagement problems. If measured end-play exceeds 0.27 mm, immediate replacement is recommended to prevent further damage.

Is this thrust washer sold as a single piece or a set?

The C06AL-1003652+A is typically supplied as a matched set (upper and lower halves) to ensure uniform load distribution. Please confirm your required quantity per engine when placing your order, as some SHANGCHAI engine variants use different configurations.

Can this part be used as a direct replacement for the original SHANGCHAI component?

Yes. The C06AL-1003652+A thrust washer is manufactured to OEM-equivalent dimensions and material specifications. It serves as a direct drop-in replacement for the original SHANGCHAI factory part without requiring any modification to the engine block or crankshaft.

What is the expected service life of this crankshaft thrust washer?

Under normal operating conditions with proper lubrication and maintenance, the thrust washer typically lasts through a full engine overhaul cycle — approximately 300,000–500,000 km depending on load conditions, driving patterns, and oil change intervals. Harsh operating environments (mining, construction) may reduce this interval.

Are oversize or undersize thrust washers available for engine rebuilds?

Yes, METTLEAD can supply standard, +0.25 mm, and +0.50 mm oversize thrust washers for engines with worn crankshaft thrust faces. Please specify your required size when requesting a quote to ensure correct fitment during your engine rebuild.
