Automotive clutch separation bearing and unit suppliers of Orient Auto Part Company

With the rapid development of the automotive industry, the clutch, as one of the core components of a manual car, has a direct impact on the driving experience and car safety. Among many auto parts suppliers, Orient Auto Part Company has won market recognition for its high quality clutch release bearing and unit products. This article will introduce in detail the features and functions of Orient Auto Part Company's products and summarize their application value in the automotive industry.

What is an automotive clutch release bearing and unit?

Automotive clutch release bearings and units are a critical component of manual transmissions. The clutch release bearing is located between the clutch pressure plate and the flywheel. When the driver depresses the clutch pedal, the release bearing pushes the pressure plate and separates the clutch plate from the flywheel, thus cutting off the power connection between the engine and the transmission. The clutch unit, on the other hand, includes the release bearing, pressure plate, and clutch disc, which together form the core working part of the clutch. The following is a detailed description of these three components:

Release Bearing (Throw Out Bearing)

Throw Out Bearing Definition:

The Throw Out Bearing is a rotating component in the clutch system whose main function is to push the clutch pressure plate away from the flywheel when the driver depresses the clutch pedal, thus disconnecting the power connection between the engine and the transmission.

Throw Out Bearing Features:

Material: usually made of high quality bearing steel with wear and heat resistance.

Structure: Designed as an inner and outer sleeve, the inner sleeve is connected to the clutch pedal and the outer sleeve is in contact with the pressure plate.

Performance: Good rotational accuracy and low coefficient of friction are required to ensure smooth clutch operation.

Throw Out Bearing Function:

Allows the clutch pressure plate to separate from the clutch disc when the clutch is disengaged.

When the clutch is engaged, it allows power to be transmitted from the engine to the transmission. Clutch release bearings play a vital role in the automotive driveline, ensuring that the driver is able to smoothly shift gears and interrupt the transfer of power from the engine to the driveline.

Clutch Pressure Plate

Clutch Pressure Plate Definition:

The pressure plate is a fixed component in the clutch system that sits between the flywheel and the clutch plate and presses the clutch plate against the flywheel by means of a spring or other pressure device.

Clutch Pressure Plate Features:

Material: usually made of cast iron or alloy material to withstand high temperature and pressure.

Structure: A spring or spring seat is fixed in the center part, and the edge has a friction surface in contact with the clutch plate.

Performance: It needs to have good thermal stability and sufficient strength to maintain reliable operation for a long time.

Clutch Pressure Plate Function:

When the clutch is engaged, it transmits power by pressurizing the clutch plate tightly against the flywheel.

When the clutch is disengaged, the clutch plate is released to separate from the flywheel.

Clutch Disc

Clutch Disc Definition:

The clutch disc is the movable part of the clutch system responsible for transmitting power, and it usually consists of multiple friction surfaces that are in contact with the flywheel and pressure plate.

Clutch Disc Characteristics:

MATERIAL: The friction surfaces are usually made of asbestos, ceramics, or other composite materials with high coefficient of friction and wear resistance.

Structure: The center part usually has a metal disk with layers of friction material around the edges.

Performance: Good thermal management and wear resistance are required to cope with frequent clutch operations.

Clutch Plate Function:

When the clutch is engaged, it transmits engine power through the contact of friction material with the flywheel and pressure plate.

When the clutch is disengaged, the contact with the flywheel is released, disconnecting the power transmission.

The release bearing, pressure plate and clutch disc are the three core components of the clutch system, and they work together to ensure smooth power transmission and smooth driving of the vehicle. The quality of the design and manufacture of these three components directly affects the performance and longevity of the clutch, so choosing high-quality clutch parts is critical to safeguarding the performance and safety of your automobile.
