Spacer Washer Ring 16x24x2mm

Brass is used in spacer and thrust components of hose reel drums due to its corrosion resistance and low friction coefficient – properties that matter in an assembly operating in contact with water and during cyclic drum rotation. Washer 40181 with dimensions 16x24x2mm serves as a precision spacer or thrust element in the drum mechanism.

Application

The washer is installed in the Kranzle hose reel drum assembly as a spacer or thrust element. The 16mm internal diameter defines the fit on the spindle, the 24mm external diameter defines the thrust surface, and the 2mm thickness determines the axial clearance. The brass material of the washer provides durability in conditions involving water contact and corrosion resistance on sliding surfaces.

Symptoms – When to Replace

• Axial play in the drum after correct installation – an excessively worn washer no longer maintains the correct clearance.
• Visible wear or reduced washer thickness at contact points with adjacent components.
• Loss of flatness – the washer does not lie evenly on the thrust surface.
• Corrosion or pitting on the surface despite the brass material – extended operation in contaminated water or with damaged drum seals.

How to Select the Correct Part

All three dimensions must match: internal diameter 16mm, external diameter 24mm, and thickness 2mm. The thickness is a precision value – a washer of a different thickness will alter the axial clearance. When replacing, compare the new washer with the removed one in terms of uniform thickness and the condition of the thrust surfaces. The brass material is a design selection criterion.

Compatibility

Kranzle catalogue part. Used among others in Kranzle pressure washer drums requiring a brass washer of 16x24x2mm. Verify compatibility with a specific drum model using reference number 40181 or the drum service diagram.

Why is brass used instead of steel?|Brass is corrosion-resistant in contact with water and has a lower friction coefficient than steel in sliding connections. Brass provides longer service life than unprotected steel and does not cause seizure on a steel spindle or shaft.
