ABSTRACT:
A clutch release bearing is disclosed comprising a plastic operating member with an axial sleeve and a transverse flange, and a ball bearing defining a drive or thrust member. One of the races of the ball bearing is applied directly or indirectly against a bearing member which comprises a simple flat metal washer. The arms of the associated actuating fork bear against the other side of the bearing member through passages therein. For guiding the arms of the actuating member there are raised edges or projections bordered the passages, possibly with a right angle portion parallel to the flange for engaging each arm of the fork. An axial rim is provided at the outer periphery of the flange extending to the drive or thrust member side and has hooks engageable with a resilient clip for coupling the drive or thrust member to the operating member and if desired self-centering operation. Various arrangements are disclosed to positively hold the bearing member against axial movement in either direction.
