Camshaft thrust washer for Terex TX760B

The thrust washer, part number 3112X011, serves as a component within the engine camshaft assembly for the Terex TX760B. It is positioned to control the axial play of the camshaft, ensuring that the shaft remains correctly aligned during operation. By managing this movement, the washer helps maintain the precise timing required for the opening and closing of engine valves, which regulates the intake of air and fuel and the exhaust of combustion gases.

This component is compatible with the Terex TX760B model and is utilized within the engine camshaft subsystem. It is designed to withstand the operational environment of the engine, including exposure to lubrication and thermal conditions, while maintaining the necessary tolerances to prevent excessive axial displacement of the camshaft.

Thrust washers are used in internal combustion engines to manage end play on rotating shafts. By absorbing axial loads, they prevent the shaft from shifting along its longitudinal axis, which protects surrounding engine components from contact and wear. Maintaining the correct axial clearance is necessary for the consistent performance and mechanical integrity of the engine's valve train system.
