Specification

Description

Clutch release bearings are used in the part that transfers or shuts off the driving force.
When the driving force is shut off, the clutch release bearing is affected by a strong force from the high-speed rotating diaphragm spring, and starts to rotate suddenly. If there is a significant gap between the rotation centers of the diaphragm spring and the clutch release bearing, the contact surfaces are likely to generate heat and wear, and this greatly impacts the clutch function. Self-aligning clutch release bearings in particular can prevent this abnormal heat generation and wear.

If there is a significant gap between the rotation centers of the diaphragm spring and the clutch release bearing, self-aligning clutch release bearings prevent abnormal heat and wear. The centering mechanism between the sleeve and bearing absorbs the gap in the rotation center of the diaphragm spring at the start of the clutch release bearing's rotation, and after that, the rotation centers of both of them are aligned to suppress abnormal heat generation and wear on the contact surfaces.

Clutch release bearings that use steel plate presses for their bearing rings decrease the overall vehicle weight and contribute to lower fuel consumption.
