AP Racing High Speed Release Bearing
- Inner Race Rotates
These high quality Release Bearings are designed for use with AP Racing Clutches and are suitable for high loads and countinuos high speed high temperature operations, making them ideal for use in motorsport situations where high performance is expected. A steel cage with hardened steel shell construction adds durability while a special high temperature grease ensures that the bearings operate at their maximum capability even in demanding situations. They offer a greater release load capability and superior performance under ardous racing conditions compared to standard production bearings.
Features:
- Steel cages
- Hardend steel shells
- High temperaure grease
- High Speed release bearing
- Inner race rotates
- Inner Diameter 32.75mm
Release Mechanism
As the spring rate and clamp load of the clutch increases, so does the release bearing load required to release the clutch. The release bearing used is a high quality steel caged radius contact ball bearing; either 38mm, 45mm, 50mm or 54mm in diameter. The release mechanism should be arranged so that the bearing is free of the spring fingers when the clutch is fully engaged. The release travel should be limited by means of an external stop to avoid damage to the diaphragm spring.
