RCAC00100 TRW Compatible Release Bearing

What does a release bearing do?

This clutch release bearing is a precision component designed to manage axial load and rotational speed within the clutch assembly. It ensures smooth engagement and disengagement of the clutch system by facilitating movement between the pressure plate and the clutch disc.

Compatibility and durability

The component is compatible with TRW systems and is built using high-strength components to endure continuous mechanical load and high temperatures. It functions as a critical element in the transmission system of heavy commercial vehicles, ensuring reliable operation under heavy-duty conditions.

Installation and maintenance

For proper installation, technicians should verify that the inner diameter, outer diameter, and width match the existing clutch shaft and diaphragm spring geometry. It is highly recommended to inspect the guide sleeve and clutch fork during replacement to ensure smooth sliding and prevent premature wear.

System maintenance guidance

When replacing a release bearing, it is often advisable to inspect the pressure plate and clutch disc simultaneously, as these parts work interdependently within the system.

OE cross-reference

0101 013 (Release Bearing) is the equivalent of the TRW OE number. This part directly replaces TRW OE number RCAC00100.
