Clutch release bearing, also known as ‘clutch release bearing’, is a key component in the manual transmission system of automobiles (including trucks). It is installed between the clutch and the transmission, and through the return spring, the convex shoulder of the release bearing is always against the release fork, and back to the last position, and the end of the release lever (release finger) to maintain a certain clearance. The main function of this part is to cut off or transmit engine power by pushing the pressure disc to separate or engage the friction disc when the clutch is engaged and disengaged.

Common clutch release bearings and truck release bearings are similar in nature, as they both play a key role in connecting and disconnecting power between the clutch and transmission. However, due to different application environments and needs, there are some differences between the two in terms of specific design, manufacturing requirements and usage characteristics. The following is a detailed analysis of the difference between the two:

First, the separation bearing design and manufacturing requirements

1. bearing capacity:

Truck separation bearings: As trucks are usually heavier than passenger cars, and need to carry greater loads, so truck separation bearings need to have a higher load carrying capacity. They should be designed to withstand greater axial and rotational forces to meet the needs of trucks under heavy loads and at high speeds.

Ordinary clutch release bearings (in the general sense, for passenger cars): their load carrying capacity is relatively low, but still sufficient to meet the needs of passenger cars under normal conditions of use.

2. Wear resistance:

Truck release bearings: as the frequency and intensity of use of truck clutch systems are usually higher, truck release bearings need to have stronger wear resistance in order to extend their service life.

Ordinary clutch release bearings: although they also need a certain degree of wear resistance, but compared with truck release bearings, their wear resistance requirements may be slightly lower.

3. Heat dissipation:

Truck release bearing: Since the clutch system may generate more heat when the truck is travelling at high speed or under heavy load, the truck release bearing needs to have better heat dissipation to prevent damage caused by overheating.

Clutch release bearing: although also need to consider the heat dissipation problem, but compared with the truck release bearing, its heat dissipation requirements may be slightly lower.

Second, the use of separation bearing characteristics

1. Working environment:

Truck release bearing: the working environment of trucks is usually more severe, including complex road conditions, high temperature, high humidity, etc., which requires truck release bearings to have better adaptability and durability.

Clutch release bearing: the working environment of passenger cars is relatively good, but also need to consider the use of different driving conditions and climate requirements.

2.Separation bearing maintenance and repair:

Truck release bearing: As trucks are used more frequently and with higher intensity, the maintenance and upkeep of their release bearings are also more important. The bearings need to be checked regularly for wear and replaced or lubricated when necessary.

Clutch release bearing: also need regular inspection and maintenance, but relative to the truck release bearing, its maintenance and maintenance frequency and difficulty may be slightly lower.

summary

To sum up, there are certain differences between clutch release bearings and truck release bearings in terms of design and manufacturing requirements, use characteristics and other aspects. These differences are mainly due to the differences between trucks and passenger cars in terms of weight, load, frequency of use and working environment. Therefore, when selecting and using these two kinds of separation bearings, it is necessary to make a reasonable selection and configuration according to the specific car models and use conditions. At the same time, it is also necessary to carry out regular inspection and maintenance work to ensure its normal operation and extend its service life.
