Product Information
- SKF self-aligning clutch release bearings are designed to control certain clutch conditions associated with the misalignment of driveline components. Evaluate the following problems that misalignment or off-centered wear of the conventional clutch release bearing can cause compared with the benefits of an SKF self-aligning clutch release bearing:
- SKF is the world leader in the design, development and manufacture of high performance rolling bearings, plain bearings, bearing units and housings.
- Based on a modular design approach, SKF’s clutch release bearing units comprise a precision ground sheet metal bearing unit and a polymer/steel sleeve or carrier . This design can be applied to push or pull clutch actuation with lever or concentric, hydraulic actuation . SKF has multiple designs available with inner or outer ring rotation for a variety of applications including motorsport and Formula 33
- Clutch release bearings from SKF are based on the design of an angular contact ball bearing . These bearings are made of stamped steel inner and outer rings with precision ground raceways, a polymer cage and either seals or shields and are pregreased at the factory with a high quality lubricant
- A clutch release bearing unit is used to engage and disengage the clutch via the diaphragm spring and pressure plate . Included in this compact design are provisions to guide the fork or piston radially
