Washers FAG U315

FAG’s u315 washers, made from solid steel and with an outer diameter of 140 mm, provide a stable bearing surface for axial bearing arrangements.

U315 washers are used in mechanical and plant engineering as a precise spacer and as an axial abutment surface for rolling bearings. In designs where adjacent components do not have a machined running surface, this FAG accessory forms a defined interface. Made from durable steel, the component distributes axial operating forces evenly across the surrounding structure and protects adjacent machine parts from localised wear.

What is the FAG u315 shim suitable for?

This washer is primarily used where axial forces need to be reliably absorbed and transferred to the machine housing. It complements bearing assemblies in which the flat surfaces of the housing walls cannot serve directly as guide or support surfaces. Thanks to the material properties of steel, the element retains its geometry even under high contact forces and supports the smooth concentric rotation of the adjacent rolling element rings.

What is important when fitting the 15 mm wide steel washer?

A flat contact surface in the housing seat is crucial for proper function. With an outer diameter of 140 mm and a width of 15 mm, the component requires a precisely fitted housing bore and perpendicular contact edges. Before assembly, you should thoroughly clean the contact surfaces to ensure that dirt particles do not impair the run-out. The solid steel construction withstands mechanical stress and promotes uniform force transmission in the axial force flow.
