VKC3505, 24TK308B2U3 and 09269-38001 are high-performance clutch release bearings with low noise and long life engineering design, specially designed to optimize the dynamic load of the clutch system. Its core structure integrates reinforced seals and self-lubricating materials, which significantly reduce friction heat loss and wear risks, ensuring stable hydraulic or mechanical transmission efficiency during frequent clutch operations. This type of bearing works in conjunction with the concentric slave cylinder (CSC) to achieve clutch pressure plate separation through precise axial force transmission, reduce pedal operation force and improve response sensitivity. In addition, its design is compatible with the dual mass flywheel (DMF) system, which can effectively suppress torsional vibration in power transmission and extend the life of the gearbox and drive shaft. It is especially suitable for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles with high torque output (such as frequent start-stop, ramp load or traction scenarios).
As core components of the LUK clutch system, these bearing models are manufactured in strict accordance with original equipment (OE) specifications and are suitable for a variety of mainstream South African models, including Toyota Hilux/Fortuner, Volkswagen Golf/Amarok, Ford Ranger and Hyundai i20/Tucson. Its production process is verified by dynamic balancing tests and material durability to ensure full compatibility with clutch plates, pressure plates and CSC components to avoid abnormal noise or early failure due to component tolerances. Special positioning tools are required during installation to achieve zero-error integration and reduce repair rework rates. This type of bearing is included in the LUK RepSet full kit solution, providing the aftermarket with the same reliability as the original, while covering daily driving, heavy-duty transportation and light performance modification needs.
