‌What is the working principle of automobile clutch bearings‌?

‌Core principle‌: Use a return spring to maintain position and clearance.

Automobile clutch bearings, especially release bearings, are installed between the clutch and the transmission, and their working principle mainly depends on the return spring. The return spring keeps the boss of the release bearing against the release fork at all times and keeps it in the final position, maintaining a gap of about 3-4mm with the end of the release lever. When the clutch is operated, the release bearing can move the release lever axially along the clutch output shaft while rotating, ensuring smooth clutch engagement and gentle separation.

‌Function and effect‌:

Ensure smooth clutch operation.

Reduce wear on the clutch and transmission system.

Extend the service life of the clutch and the entire transmission system.

The normal operation of automobile clutch bearings is crucial to the clutch's performance and the life of the transmission system, so they should be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure that they are in good working condition‌.
