Abstract: A single-row deep groove ball bearing made substantially of an inner ring and an outer ring disposed coaxially thereto and balls disposed between the rings. The balls roll in deep groove tracks in an outer face of the inner ring and in an inner face of the outer ring, and the balls are held at equal distances to each other in the circumferential direction by a housing. The interior of the bearing is sealed by two circular ring-shaped seals axially opposite each other. At least one of the seals is a lip seal, which has an angular profile. A shape-stable radial seal leg of the seal is attached to the outer ring and forms a gap seal with an axial side of the inner ring, and a sealing lip, which is an overpressure valve, is disposed under the inner ring and slidingly contacts the inner face of the inner ring.

Abstract: The friction clutch between the prime mover and the change-speed transmission in the power train of a motor vehicle is actuatable by a slave cylinder cooperating with a master cylinder wherein the piston is movable by a clutch pedal or by an electric actuator. The casing of the slave cylinder is made, at least in part, of a plastic material and defines a plenum chamber arranged to receive pressurized fluid from the master cylinder by way of a conduit extending through a bell which contains the clutch and the slave cylinder. The annular piston of the slave cylinder surrounds the input shaft of the transmission. The plastic material of the casing of the slave cylinder can contain one or more additives which enhance its strength and/or influence its frictional engagement with the adjacent surfaces of the piston or of a lip seal which reciprocates with the piston.
