Clutch Release Bearing 8024CST

The 8024CST Clutch Release Bearing is a key component designed for the hydraulic or mechanical clutch actuation system of vehicles with manual transmissions. Its primary function is to serve as a precise interface between the clutch operating mechanism (such as the clutch fork) and the clutch pressure plate. When the driver depresses the clutch pedal, this bearing bears axial load and transmits the operating force smoothly and low-friction to the clutch pressure plate's diaphragm spring fingers, thereby releasing the power connection between the engine and transmission and enabling smooth gear shifting. The model number 8024CST typically indicates its specific mounting dimensions, load capacity, and interface design, matching the corresponding clutch assembly and transmission housing specifications.

This release bearing features an optimized internal design and typically incorporates long-life sealing grease and high-precision needle or ball bearing units, ensuring reliability and durability under conditions of frequent axial movement and high speed differentials. Its design emphasizes low operating resistance, excellent high-temperature resistance (to withstand clutch heat), and low noise levels to ensure smooth shifting and driver comfort. 8024CST bearings typically feature precise geometric tolerances and a robust housing structure, ensuring precise engagement with the clutch fork and pressure plate finger tips. This provides consistent disengagement travel and operating force feedback, making them a core component for efficient and precise clutch system operation. They are widely used in clutch systems for various passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
