Abstract: A clutch release bearing designed for error proof installation on a holding structure of a clutch fork in a clutch system includes a bearing assembly supported on a bearing carrier, and an inner flange extending radially outwardly from the bearing carrier. The clutch release bearing also includes an outer flange spaced from the inner flange, and secured to the bearing carrier. The outer flange is formed with a circular lip defining an installation safeguard to ensure reception and retention of the holding structure of the clutch fork only between the inner and outer flanges.

Abstract: A method for assembling a speed-sensing device for monitoring an angular velocity of a rotatable shaft, comprises the steps of: providing a hollow housing having a speed sensor hole, installing a stopper plug into the speed sensor hole so that a stein portion of the stopper plugs extends into the housing, inserting a tone wheel into the housing and inserting the shaft into the housing until the shaft positively engages the tone wheel. The speed-sensing device comprises the tone wheel non-rotatably mounted to the shaft. The shaft has a shaft groove formed on an outer peripheral surface thereof, while the tone wheel has a wheel groove formed on an inner peripheral surface thereof. The speed-sensing device further includes a snap ring retainer provided to engage the complementary shaft and wheel grooves in order to prevent movement of the tone wheel along the shaft.
