  • Clutch thrust bearing unit with guided elastic self-alignment
    Patent number: 4365850
    Abstract: Clutch thrust bearing unit with guided elastic self-alignment.Elastic means 17 are inserted between a cylindrical part 18 of the guide sleeve and the inner ring (1) of the rolling bearing. The inner ring 1 has a radial arm 5 in rubbing contact with a radial annular guide section 20 fixed to the part 18. The annular portion 20 comprises a flange 24 fitted with rounded ends 25 which act as locking means on rotation of the inner ring 1 during which at least one extension 23 butts against one end 25 of the flange 24.Any relative rotation between the inner ring 1 and the guide sleeve 20 is thus prevented, which limits the relative wear of these parts in rubbing contact.
