The units are designed to account for many constraints, including: automated manual transmission or dual clutch transmission; higher operating temperature; and increased application loads. A clutch release bearing unit engages and disengages the clutch, via the diaphragm spring and pressure plate. It includes provisions to guide the fork or piston radially. Our compact design combines a precision sheet metal bearing unit and polymer sleeve or carrier, for manual gearbox applications against a dry clutch. We offer multiple designs with inner or outer ring rotation for a variety of applications. The units are designed to account for many constraints, including: automated manual transmission or dual clutch transmission; higher operating temperature; and increased application loads Applications Here are examples of applications in which Clutch bearings might be used: • Paper moving for copiers, fax machines, paper towel dispensers, etc. • Exercise equipment • Appliances • Two-speed gearboxes • Rack indexing drives • Converters, non-return devices and transcendental clutches. • Fishing Reels, RC Cars, RC Helis, RC Engines CATEGORY:When the clutch pedal is depressed, the throw-out bearing moves toward the flywheel, pushing in the pressure plate's release fingers and moving the pressure plate fingers or levers against pressure plate spring force. This action moves the pressure plate away from the clutch disc, thus interrupting power flow.
