ABSTRACT:
A friction clutch system includes a constant running release bearing member designed to accommodate axial misalignment. In a preferred form, a wave washer is interposed between a flange of a bearing carrier and the outer race of the release bearing member to provide for axial flexibility. In addition, a mechanical stop is provided to limit axial travel of a thrust ring affixed to the axially moveable bearing member in a direction of clutch disengagement. In a preferred form the stop is formed of an elongated shaft having a radially extending projection for arresting the carrier movement beyond a predetermined limit. A sleeve positioned over the shaft includes markings to permit visual indication of amount of clutch wear to aid in the servicing of the clutch system. Also in a preferred form, the carrier is formed of two resilient non-metallic parts and incorporates a snap fit flange-detent connection system which preloads the wave washer upon assembly of the two carrier parts.
