These high quality Release Bearings are designed for use with AP Racing Clutches, and are suitable for high loads, and continuous high speed high temperature operation. They offer a greater release load capability, and superior performance under arduous racing conditions, compared to standard production bearings. The bearings have steel cages, and hardened steel shells for durability, and are filled with a special high temperature grease. Of the six bearings within the range, Three have a radiused release fulcrum and are suitable for all straight fingered diaphragm spring clutches, and are available, with either a 38mm, 45mm50mmor 54mmdiameter release fulcrum, suit- able for all APRacing Sintered or Cerametallic racing clutches. Two have flat faces which are suitable for production type curly fingered diaphragm clutches. - CP3457-1 Release Fulcrum Dia ‘A’ = 50mm. This bearing is suitable for use with most Ø115, Ø127 & Ø140mm racing clutches. - CP3457-2 Release Fulcrum Dia ‘A’ = 54mm. This bearing is suitable for use with most Ø184, Ø200 & Ø215mm racing clutches - CP3457-9 Release Fulcrum Dia ‘A’ = 50mm. This bearing is suitable for use with most Ø115, Ø127 & Ø140mm racing clutches. - CP3457-10 Release Fulcrum Dia ‘A’ = 54mm. This bearing is suitable for use with most Ø184, Ø200 & Ø215mm racing clutches. - CP3457-19 Release Fulcrum Dia ‘A’ = 45mm. This bearing is suitable for use with most Ø115, Ø127 & Ø140mm racing clutches. RELEASE MECHANISM.) As the spring rate and clamp load of the clutch in- creases, so does the release bearing load required to release the clutch. The release bearing used, should be a high quality steel caged radius contact ball bearing either 38mm, 45mm or 50mm, (for Ø115mm, Ø127mm, Ø138mm and Ø140mm carbon / race clutches), or 54mm for, (Ø184mm, Ø200mm and Ø215mm carbon / race clutches). The release mechanism should be arranged so that the bearing is free of the spring fingers when the clutch is fully engaged. The release travel should be limited by means of an external stop to avoid damage to the diaphragm spring. Suitable release bearings are available from AP Racing see details below and opposite. IMPORTANT NOTE / INSTALLATION OF BEARINGS. T o prevent internal damage to ball races when fitting bearings onto release mechanism, use only the minimum force necessary on the surfaces marked ‘B’ only. The following bearing assemblies are filled with Kluber Asonic HQ72-102 grease, CP3457-1, -2, -6, -11, -16.
