This product is a hydraulically actuated clutch release bearing. Applicable part numbers include: 90578179, 5679300, 55558371, and 9911C. This bearing is the core actuator in hydraulic clutch operating systems, designed to replace traditional mechanical cable or lever mechanisms. Its core function is to receive hydraulic pressure from the clutch master cylinder and accurately and efficiently convert this pressure into axial thrust, directly acting on the release finger (or diaphragm spring) of the clutch pressure plate, thereby achieving smooth clutch disengagement and engagement. This bearing typically utilizes an integrated design, combining the bearing body with the hydraulic actuator into a compact unit. This design offers compact construction, high transmission efficiency, light operating force, and consistent linearity, contributing to an optimized pedal feel.
This series of hydraulic clutch release bearings is designed and manufactured specifically for various models from the OPEL, SAAB, VAUXHALL, CHEVROLET, and FIAT brands. Its specifications are precisely matched to the space layout, hydraulic interface, and performance requirements of the original equipment manufacturer's clutch system. Selecting this component that meets original manufacturer specifications is crucial to maintaining the efficiency of the clutch hydraulic system and ensuring smooth and reliable clutch disengagement and engagement. It is an important maintenance and replacement component to ensure stable operation of the transmission system of related models.
