The release bearing is designed for classic UAZ models. It is compatible with engine models including UMZ 4178.10 (2.4L), UMZ-421310 (2.9L) and UMZ-4218 (2.9L), covering the UAZ 3160 series all-terrain off-road vehicles produced from 1994 to 2003. The product adopts a high-precision needle bearing structure, and the inner and outer diameters strictly match the original design parameters to ensure precise matching with the clutch pressure plate and release lever. Its core material is high-strength bearing steel, which is heat-treated to enhance the surface hardness. It can withstand a peak load of 43,000N and maintain a low friction coefficient and high wear resistance during frequent clutch operations. The double-lip seal structure is used inside the bearing to effectively block dust and lubricating oil leakage, extending the service life to more than 80,000 kilometers, and adapting to the long-term operation requirements of UAZ models under extreme road conditions.
The release bearing has passed the dynamic balance test, and the rotation accuracy reaches the ISO P5 standard, which can reduce the vibration amplitude of the clutch system by more than 30% and reduce the noise of the transmission system. Its preload design has been calibrated with UAZ original factory data, and the separation torque error is controlled within ±5% to ensure smooth clutch engagement. The bearing bushing is made of self-lubricating composite material, which maintains stable lubrication performance in the temperature range of -30℃ to 120℃, adapting to the extreme climate of severe cold winter and high temperature in summer in Russia and Central Asia. In addition, the product has passed 1 million durability cycle tests to verify its reliability under typical working conditions of UAZ models, including high-frequency gear shifting operations and heavy-load off-road scenarios. The failure rate is 40% lower than the industry average, providing an original factory-level alternative for the maintenance market.
