Clutch Release Bearing - 20 91 1697 SWAG

The release bearing is a part of the clutch system, on which the operation of the vehicle depends largely. The bearing carries out the separation of the clutch discs, which is necessary to transfer the engine to idle, or to change gears. While driving, it is in a stationary state, activating to connect or spread the disks.

The functionality of the SWAG brand Releaser

The main task of such a detail is to act on the basket petals. Due to this, the discs move away from each other and the transmission of torque is turned off. The gearbox shaft acts as a drive for the bearing, on which it rotates and moves along it thanks to the clutch fork located on the clutch. It is necessary to buy a release bearing when the first signs of its wear appear, which is accompanied by an extraneous sound when depressing the pedal. The principle of operation is as follows:

1. the pedal is pressed;
2. the fork moves the clutch;
3. the basket petals are pushed by the bearing;
4. the disc is moving away from the engine flywheel.

To turn on the torque again, just release the pedal and everything will fall into place in the reverse order.
