Description
Overview of the Standard clutch thrust bearing
The Standard clutch thrust bearing AM1031 supports axial loads in standard marine gearboxes with consistent performance. This clutch thrust bearing directs axial force away from critical gearbox components, which protects them from unnecessary wear and extends service life. As a result, owners can rely on smoother clutch operation under different loads.
Features
-
Deep-groove ball design handles axial forces efficiently and keeps rotation smooth.
-
Unsealed construction gives users the ability to inspect and lubricate the bearing easily.
-
Suits clutch 6207 C3 systems and integrates cleanly with compatible gearboxes.
In addition, these features provide reliable operation in tough marine conditions where maintenance access matters.
Standard clutch thrust bearing Specifications and Materials
-
Inner diameter: 35 mm
-
Outer diameter: 72 mm
-
Bearing type: Non-sealed, deep-groove ball, clearance type
This configuration ensures steady function even when thermal expansion or vibration occurs. Furthermore, the open design makes it simple to apply grease at regular intervals.
Compatibility and Fitment
The AM1031 part number identifies this bearing as the correct replacement for gearbox models that require a clutch 6207 C3. Mechanics often use it in small to medium inboard marine applications where the clutch engages repeatedly under load. Therefore, fitment is straightforward when technicians follow standard alignment and torque procedures.
Compliance and Safety
Installers should apply lubrication regularly and tighten components evenly to avoid distortion. They should also confirm alignment before operation to reduce stress on connecting parts.

Marine Applications
You will commonly find this clutch thrust bearing in ski boats, fishing craft, and other inboard vessels. It manages the forces produced during clutch operation, which helps maintain dependable propulsion. Additionally, its open design simplifies ongoing servicing compared with sealed alternatives.
