A Crankshaft Thrust Plate is a component that is designed to control the axial movement of the crankshaft, which can cause damage to the bearings and other components. The plate is typically located at the rear of the engine block and is secured in place by bolts. It is made from a durable material, such as steel or aluminum, and is designed to withstand the high forces generated by the engine.

Attributes:
• Prevents misalignments of the crankshaft.
• Provided with grooves or channels to direct oil to the thrust bearing for lubrication.
• High strength, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance.

Applications:
A Crankshaft Thrust Plate is used to prevent excessive axial movement of the crankshaft in the engine.
