In the intricate mechanics of a vehicle's transmission system, the clutch release bearing holds a pivotal position. This essential component bridges the gap between the driver's intent and the engine's response, facilitating seamless engagement and disengagement of the clutch assembly. At our company, we understand the importance of precision and durability in every aspect of automotive performance, and our clutch release bearings are no exception.
The clutch release bearing plays a crucial role in transmitting the force generated by the clutch pedal to the clutch pressure plate, allowing for the smooth separation of the engine and transmission. When the driver depresses the clutch pedal, the bearing slides along the input shaft of the transmission, engaging a lever or fork that releases the clutch fingers, thus disengaging the clutch plates. This action enables gear changes without stalling the engine.
Clutch Release Bearings Damage Causes:
The damage of the clutch release bearing is closely related to the driver's operation, maintenance and adjustment. The damage causes are roughly as follows:
1) Overheating caused by excessively high working temperature
Many drivers often half-step on the clutch when turning or slowing down, and some drivers even put their feet on the clutch pedal after shifting gears; some vehicles have too much free travel, which makes the clutch not completely separated and is in a semi-engaged and semi-separated state. This state causes dry friction and generates a large amount of heat to be transferred to the release bearing. When the bearing is heated to a certain temperature, the butter melts or dilutes and flows, which further increases the temperature of the release bearing. When the temperature reaches a certain level, it burns out.
2) Wear due to lack of lubricating oil
In actual work, drivers tend to ignore this point, resulting in a lack of oil in the clutch release bearing. The wear of the release bearing without lubrication or with little lubrication is often several to dozens of times that of the wear after lubrication. As the wear increases, the temperature will also increase greatly, which makes it easier to damage.
3) The free stroke is too small or the number of loads is too many
According to the requirements, the clearance between the clutch release bearing and the release lever is generally 2.5mm, which is more suitable. The free stroke reflected on the clutch pedal is 30-40mm. If the free stroke is too small or there is no free stroke at all, the release lever and the release bearing will be in a constant engagement state. According to the principle of fatigue damage, the longer the bearing works, the more serious the damage; the more times it is loaded, the more likely the release bearing will suffer fatigue damage. Moreover, the longer the working time, the higher the temperature of the bearing, the easier it is to burn, which reduces the service life of the release bearing.
4) In addition to the above three reasons, whether the release lever is adjusted flat and whether the release bearing return spring is good also has a great impact on the damage of the release bearing.
