Abstract
A self-centering clutch release bearing comprises a drive element which acts on the release device of a clutch, connected to an actuating element which co-operates with a displacement control means. The connection between the two elements is a self-centering frictional connection controlled by a Belleville washer which bears with its inner or outer periphery against one of the elements. The washer is connected to the other of the elements by fastening claws which extend around its other periphery.
