A clutch assembly allows the engine and the gearbox to be engaged and disengaged. Releasing pressure does this job and is made possible by the clutch bearings. They are self aligning bearing types. They are designed to control certain clutch conditions associated with the misalignment of components.

The special design of the clutch release bearings permit maximum speeds at maximum loads. The design has also been proven to have the long life.

Characteristics:

Anti-rotation feature prevents rotation damage to carrier in constant running applications. It consists of solid steel roll-pin across the bearing fork-groove. They are self aligning and accept misaligned loads even where the bearing is tilted away from the engine or transmission centerline. This variable contact design assures a longer life and minimizes noise and vibration. The seal consist of separator and bore liner that excludes contamination and retains grease.
