ABSTRACT:
An improvement to clutch release bearings which comprise an operating element and a drive element retained together and controlled by axially-acting elastic members formed by a limited number of separate elastic clamps. The elastic clamps are operable to apply a radial flange of the drive element against a radial flange of the operating element. Each elastic clamp comprises an axial part and a radial part. The axial part extends across the flange of the operating element through an opening in the flange. Two axial channels are provided in association with this opening to hold this elastic clamp radially in place. The invention is particularly applicable to self-centering clutch release bearings for automobiles wherein the bearings are capable of permanent self-centering.
