The Multiquip 486000 Thrust Washer is a genuine OEM component designed for the SP303516, SP303520, SP303526, and SP303530 series pavement saws. As a factory-original part, it is manufactured to the same specifications as the washer installed at the time of production, ensuring a direct, accurate fit within the driveline assembly. This genuine OEM replacement is sourced and sold by DHS Equipment, confirming you are receiving an authentic Multiquip part backed by the manufacturer.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Grade — Manufactured to the exact thickness tolerance and hardness spec required for axial load management in a pavement saw drivetrain, unlike generic washers that may vary in temper or dimension.
- Direct Drop-In Fit — Engineered to seat correctly within the spindle or shaft assembly of SP-series saws without any shimming or machining — installs in the same position as the original.
- Confirmed Fitment — Verified compatible with SP303516, SP303520, SP303526, and SP303530 Multiquip pavement saws.
- Axial Load Protection — Controls shaft end-play and distributes thrust forces evenly, preventing metal-to-metal contact that accelerates bearing and housing wear.
- Protects Surrounding Components — A worn or missing thrust washer allows excessive shaft movement, which can damage bearings, housings, and adjacent drivetrain parts — replacing it promptly preserves the integrity of the larger assembly.
A thrust washer is a thin, hardened disc positioned along a rotating shaft to absorb and distribute axial (end-to-end) forces generated during operation. In a pavement saw, these forces are produced as the blade engages the cutting surface and transmits load back through the spindle assembly. When a thrust washer wears down or fails, shaft end-play increases, leading to vibration, accelerated bearing wear, and potential damage to the blade arbor housing. Replacing it with the correct OEM part restores proper shaft alignment and protects the surrounding driveline components.
