ABSTRACT:
An automatic clutch wear adjuster incorporated in a clutch release bearing assembly which automatically compensates for facing or lining wear while maintaining clearance between the release bearing and clutch release levers in the engaged position of the clutch to provide the requisite free play at the clutch pedal and eliminate undesirable constant bearing engagement. The bearing assembly includes a sleeve encompassing the driven shaft, a collar telescoped on the sleeve, and a pair of oppositely disposed one-way clutches between the collar and sleeve to prevent relative movement between the sleeve and collar except where the clutch linings are worn resulting in greater return movement of the release levers. Where wear has occurred, the sleeve will move relative to the collar to adjust the length of the bearing assembly and retain the desired clearance between the bearing and release levers.
