Item Name:
Covington Parts - Tumbler Wear Washer 1/6 HP
SKU:
COVFWW912-1/6
Description:
The Tumbler Wear Washer 1/6hp is a replacement fiber wear washer used in Covington-style rolling tumblers and deluxe tumblers. This part is a flat, high-wear fiber washer designed to act as a sacrificial bearing surface where rotating or sliding components meet. In tumbler drive assemblies, wear washers help reduce metal-to-metal contact, quiet the machine, and maintain smoother rotation by taking the abrasion that would otherwise damage housings, brackets, or rotating shafts. You replace this washer when you notice wobble, squealing, uneven rotation, or visible thinning and grooving from long-term use.
How it is used:
- Disconnect power to the tumbler before servicing.
- Open the tumbler access area to reach the drive and roller assembly.
- Remove the fastener or retaining hardware that captures the worn washer.
- Pull the old fiber washer and clean any grit or belt dust from the contact surfaces.
- Install the new wear washer in the same orientation and location as the original.
- Reassemble, confirm free rotation, then test run to verify smoother and quieter operation.
