Abstract
There is described herein an apparatus comprising a shoulder washer that comprises a shank, a shoulder coupled with the shank, a bore passing through the shank and the shoulder, and a step. The step is coupled with the shoulder and at least partially encircles the shank where the shank meets the shoulder. In other embodiments, the apparatus is employed with a bearing, where the step is selected to provide a gap that allows the bearing to freely rotate while engaged with the aforementioned apparatus. In yet other embodiments, flat washers may have employed shoulder bearings that do not have steps for engaging a bearing and providing a gap that is allows the bearing to freely rotate while engaged with the shoulder washers.
