Description
Overview
The Heavy Duty Clutch Thrust Bearing (Part Number AM1032) serves as a robust axial support component specifically designed for race applications. It suits gearbox models QJ207 with 29 % and larger gear ratios, and thus delivers enhanced engagement stability under high load conditions.
Features
This bearing stands up to severe axial force due to its heavy-duty construction. Furthermore, it ensures smooth clutch operation by reducing axial wear through its hardened inner surface and precise axial support. In addition, the bearing improves gearbox reliability by maintaining consistent axial alignment under load.
