A clutch release bearing is supported on a guide tube by an axially slidable support sleeve which has a radial flange. The inner ring of the bearing has a radial extension which is in surface-to-surface contact with one side of the guide tube flange to prevent tilting of the release bearing. The opposite side of the guide tube flange has elastic projections which are clamped by claws on the radial extension.

Self-centering clutch release bearing comprising guide means

A self aligning clutch release bearing, mountable on a guide tube in a clutch assembly, includes inner bearing race tube and a rigid guide socket. An elastic collar affixed to the interior of the bearing race tube is provided with resilient internal projections which contact the guide tube and permit slight lateral shifting of the bearing race with respect to the guide tube. A rigid guide socket rides on the guide tube and has a radial flange which frictionally engages a corresponding radial flange on the bearing race tube to deter inclination of the inner bearing race tube relative to the guide tube.
