1863869002 SACHS SERVICE ITEM PILOT BEARING

This SACHS pilot bearing, with MPN 1863869002 and country of origin Germany, measures 10.0 x 70.0 x 80.0 mm. Its technical benefits include providing smooth operation and durability in high-precision applications due to its needle bearing design. Dimensions are provided by the supplier and may include packaging dimensions. Clutch release bearings, also known as throw-out bearings, facilitate clutch disengagement by applying force to the clutch pressure plate fingers. Located between the transmission input shaft and the pressure plate, these bearings push against the pressure plate to overcome spring pressure, allowing gear changes. Construction typically features a sealed, lubricated roller or ball bearing assembly within a steel housing. Modern designs often incorporate a stamped steel cage or polymer guides for reduced friction and noise. Proper function is critical for smooth clutch operation and preventing transmission damage; failure presents as noise during clutch pedal operation or difficulty shifting.
