0101 013 Mercedes-Benz MAN Volvo Release Bearing

What does a release bearing do?

A clutch release bearing is a critical component within the clutch system that transfers movement to the diaphragm spring to disengage engine power from the gearbox. This part ensures a smooth transition between the rotating components and the stationary clutch fork during gear shifts.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This heavy-duty release bearing is specifically engineered for a wide range of commercial vehicles, including Mercedes-Benz ATEGO and ZETROS models, MAN M 2000 series, Renault Trucks Magnum, and various Volvo FH, FM, and FL series. It is also fitted to Hyundai trucks in certain applications.

Installation and maintenance

To ensure correct installation, technicians should verify the specific engine type, such as the OM 906 LA or D12C, and confirm the mounting configuration. Regular inspection of the clutch system can prevent shifting difficulties and premature gearbox wear.
