Clutch release bearing device and motor vehicle equipped with such a bearing
The invention relates to a motor vehicle clutch release bearing device including a rolling bearing that forms a member for transmitting an axial force, having a rotating ring and a non-rotating ring, between which a rolling chamber for rolling elements is defined. The rotating ring provides a first radial portion intended to come into contact with an actuating member when a sufficient axial force is applied to the non-rotating ring by a member that is able to move in translation, and a second radial portion that is intended to bear against a spring, which exerts an axial force in the opposite direction to the axial force exerted by the member that is able to move in translation, dedicated to preloading the rolling bearing in an opposite direction to the actuating member.
Bearing having overmoulded wear race, and associated manufacturing method
The bearing provides an inner race, an outer race and a wear race that is made of synthetic material and fastened to one of the races. The wear race is overmoulded on at least one face of the race. The face is provided with at least one blind indentation, inside of which there extends a rib of complementary shape of the wear race.
Bearing comprising a wear race
A bearing having an inner race, an outer race and a wear race mounted to press against an external face of one of the races and fastened on the race is provided. The wear race provides at least one annular flange locally covering an internal face of the race opposite the external face. The bearing further provides a sealing member fastened on the other race and includes at least one sealing lip in friction contact with the annular flange of the wear race.
Clutch for vehicle
A clutch for a vehicle may include a pressing member configured to interwork with a clutch pedal and move in one direction when the clutch pedal is stepped on; and an elastic member having an end portion in contact with the pressing member, and configured to apply elastic force to the pressing member in the other direction when the pressing member moves in one direction, and exert elastic force in one direction when the pressing member passes through a preset point to restrain the pressing member from being restored to its original condition.
