A0022502115 Compatible Mercedes-Benz ATEGO 3 Release Bearing

What does a release bearing do?

This clutch release bearing serves as a critical component within the clutch assembly, responsible for pressing against the diaphragm spring when the pedal is depressed. By facilitating the smooth disengagement of engine power from the gearbox, it ensures precise gear transitions and prevents premature wear on the transmission system. It is built with high-strength components designed to withstand continuous axial loads and high temperatures.

Compatible Mercedes-Benz ATEGO 3 vehicles

This part is specifically designed for Mercedes-Benz ATEGO 3 vehicles, including models such as the 1224, 1524 AF, and 1530 K, utilizing the OM 936 engine. It is also compatible with various other ATEGO 3 variants like the 1227, 1230, and 1527 L to ensure wide coverage across the fleet. Check the compatibility list.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For optimal performance, workshop technicians should inspect the bearing during every clutch system service. Proper installation is vital to ensure the bearing slides axially along the clutch shaft without friction or vibration. Monitoring for noise or difficult shifting can help identify a failing bearing before it leads to more significant gearbox issues.

Troubleshooting and replacement

Maintaining regular service intervals helps prevent damage to the diaphragm spring and pressure plate. When replacing this component, always verify that the new bearing matches the existing clutch system type to ensure a perfect fit within the heavy commercial vehicle's drivetrain.
