It is important that the correct type of release bearing is used
for each cover assembly configuration. If a release plate is
fitted a carbon thrust bearing should be used. If a release plate
is not fitted and the diaphragm spring has straight fingers then
a round nose ball type bearing should be used. If a release plate
is not fitted and the diaphragm spring has curved fingers then a
flat faced ball type bearing should be used.
The maximum recommended travel for the release bearing to prevent
the diaphragm spring being over stroked. The maximum recommended
rotational speed for each cover assembly. Given in rpm. The
torque capacity for the clutch will vary depending upon which
type of driven plate is to be used. The table gives the figure
for all the various types of plate that can be run with the
particular cover assembly. Given in Lbs / Ft and NM. Two
thicknesses are given, the ‘new clamped’ thickness and the
‘minimum worn’ thickness. ‘New clamped’ is the thickness of the
driven plate when first installed but with the plate in the
clamped position. The ‘minimum worn’ figure is derived from the
clamp load characteristics of each individual cover assembly, and
can be used as a guide to the life of the driven plate. Whilst
the driven plate thickness is between these two figures the clamp
load stated will be within specification. When the thickness of
the driven plate drops below the minimum worn figure the clamp
load will be reduced which may result in clutch ‘slip’. The
amount of clamping force exerted by the diaphragm spring
(identified by colour on spring fingers). Given in Lbs and Nm
Informs you if a release plate is fitted to the diaphragm spring
fingers.The colour identifies the spring strength whilst the
‘design’ details the finger form, straight or curved (curly).The

or to the top face of a release plate if fitted.
