Washers FAG U209

The FAG U209 steel washer, measuring 60 x 78 x 7.5 mm, provides a solid axial contact surface for precisely mounted shaft connections.

The U209 shim serves as a mechanical compensation and spacer element in mechanical and plant engineering. It is used wherever axial clearances need to be precisely compensated or defined abutment surfaces for rotating components need to be created. Manufactured from robust steel, this FAG component reliably withstands mechanical compressive loads. Thanks to its defined width, the washer ensures that adjacent components sit securely on the shaft.

What is the U209 shim suitable for?

In rotating shaft assemblies and industrial structures, this component acts as a stable spacer between rolling bearings, housing edges or retaining elements. If you wish to protect housing surfaces or specifically eliminate axial play within a shaft assembly, the washer provides a clean metallic contact surface. The steel material resists plastic deformation even under continuous loads, thereby supporting smooth, low-vibration operation of the entire assembly.

What is important regarding the dimensions of the U209 shim?

The precisely matched dimensions of a 60 mm bore, 78 mm outer diameter and 7.5 mm width are crucial to its function. Before assembly, check the fit on the shaft journal to ensure the washer sits flush without any misalignment. The material thickness of 7.5 mm must correspond exactly to the axial specification in your design drawing. End faces that are parallel to the plane help to ensure that axial forces are distributed evenly across the entire circular ring surface into the adjacent machine components.
