ABSTRACT:
A self-aligning clutch release bearing and carrier sleeve assembly includes a carrier sleeve which defines a first axis and a bearing having a generally annular thrust face adapted to be brought in engagement with rotating clutch fingers or the like of a clutch mechanism, which clutch fingers are rotating about a second axis which may or may not be coincidental with said first axis. The bearing and carrier sleeve assembly is adapted to adjust the rotational orientation of the bearing to coincide with the second axis of rotation, and comprises a bearing including a radially inwardly extending shoulder portion which terminates at a position radially spaced apart from the carrier sleeve. A flexible mounting member is interposed radially between the bearing shoulder portion and the carrier sleeve for mounting the bearing to the carrier sleeve in a resilient, self-aligning condition, such that the bearing can adjust its position relative to the carrier sleeve to align the thrust face coaxially with said second axis for engagement of the clutch fingers with the thrust face.
