Description
Double Thrust Bearing Carrier Overview
The Double Thrust Bearing Clutch Seal and Bearing Carrier (Part Number AM1067) supports dual thrust bearings and provides a leak-resistant seal inside a clutch housing. It delivers precise thrust load distribution and houses a sealing interface to protect the internal clutch and gearbox from contaminants.
Features
-
Machined in one piece from billet alloy for exceptional durability
-
Integrated carrier for dual thrust bearings with sealing provision
-
Bolt pattern matches typical clutch housing mounting bores
-
Eliminates joint alignment errors via a single solid component
Specifications and Materials
This carrier is crafted from high-grade billet alloy and measures 99.15 mm OD x 30.1 mm thick. It secures the thrust bearings and incorporates an inner sealing surface. Consequently, it ensures minimal axial movement and retains lubricant where required. After cleaning the mounting surface, install with even torque to ensure an even load across the seal surface. Also, verify shaft and bearing fit before reassembly.
Compatibility and Fitment
This component fits clutch housings designed for dual thrust bearing arrangements—often found in drag-race or heavy-duty marine applications. Before ordering, compare the outer diameter and thickness to your assembly. Additionally, check that your shaft and thrust bearing stack-up aligns correctly with the carrier bore and seal surface. This prevents misalignment and bearing wear.
Compliance and Safety
Ensuring the sealing surface engages fully keeps oil inside the housing where it lubricates bearings and protects internal components. Therefore, after installation, rotate the assembly by hand and visually check for leaks during test runs. Additionally, confirm that the carrier’s outer face aligns flush with adjacent mating surfaces to maintain proper seal compression.
Marine Applications
This carrier is ideal for inboard marine gearboxes that operate under high side loads and frequent direction changes. Moreover, using a sealed dual thrust arrangement prolongs bearing life and ensures cleaner internal environments, especially in saltwater setups.
