1. Precise Positioning & Alignment: Serves as a critical positioning component in the grader’s transmission, axle, or drawbar-circle assembly, ensuring accurate alignment of rotating shafts, gears, and bearing assembliesCat.
2. Clearance & Gap Control: Maintains consistent axial/radial clearances between mating components, preventing excessive play, friction, or misalignment during high-load operation.
3. Load Distribution: Distributes mechanical stress evenly across connected parts, absorbing vibration and shock loads generated during grading operations.
4. Wear Resistance & Protection: Acts as a sacrificial or protective layer, reducing direct metal-to-metal contact and extending the service life of expensive core components (e.g., gears, bearings).
