Clutch Bearing

About Clutch Bearing

A clutch bearing, often called a release bearing or throw-out bearing, is a critical component in a vehicles clutch system that allows smooth engagement and disengagement between the engine and transmission. It sits between the clutch fork and the pressure plate, enabling rotational motion to transfer while reducing friction. When the clutch pedal is pressed, the clutch bearing pushes against the pressure plates diaphragm spring to release the clutch. Designed to handle high-speed rotation and axial loads, clutch bearings feature durable steel construction and low-friction surfaces. They ensure quiet operation, consistent shifting performance, and long service life in automotive and industrial clutch systems.
