Abstract
An angular thrust washer (1) for a thrust bearing comprising a radial portion (2) serving as a raceway, said radial portion (2) merging into at least one axially extending angled portion (4), and rotation being prevented by at least one projection which engages a recess (9) of a housing (6) whereby the projection is configured as a flat retention tongue (5) formed integrally on the radial portion (2) and projecting beyond the radial portion (2) in radial direction while being arranged in a plane which is axially offset from the radial portion (2) towards a bottom of the recess (9) which prevents a contact between the shaping radii (12) of the retention tongue (5) and the side walls (10, 11) formed during manufacture and the run-out radii (13) of recess.
