Clutch release bearing device
First Claim
1. Clutch release bearing device, of the type comprising an operating element, a rolling bearing comprising rolling elements, a non-rotating ring and a rotating ring, the non-rotating ring being provided with a radial portion facing inwards and having a central opening, the rolling bearing being mounted on the operating element with which it may move axially, and a self-alignment sleeve placed between the non-rotating ring and the operating element and provided with a plurality of elastic ribs facing inwards, the self-alignment sleeve comprising an axial portion adjusted in the central opening of the radial portion of the non-rotating ring, and a radial portion facing outwards and pressing axially against a part of the inward-facing radial portion of the non-rotating ring, the elastic ribs being placed relative to a plane passing through the center of the rolling elements on the same side as a bearing face of the rotating ring on a diaphragm, and extending axially over at least a part of the space delimited by a radial plane passing through the bearing face of the rotating ring on a diaphragm and by a radial plane passing through the bearing face of the non-rotating ring on the operating element.

14. Clutch release bearing device comprising:
-
an operating element;
a rolling bearing mounted on the operating element with which it may move axially, the rolling bearing comprising;
rolling elements, a non-rotating ring being provided with a bearing face on the operating element, and a radial portion facing inwards and having a central opening, a rotating ring having a bearing face on a diaphragm; and
a self-alignment sleeve placed between the non-rotating ring and the operating element and provided with a plurality of elastic ribs facing inwards, the self-alignment sleeve comprising;
an axial portion adjusted in the central opening of the radial portion of the non-rotating ring, and a radial portion facing outwards and pressing axially against a part of the inward-facing radial portion of the non-rotating ring, the elastic ribs being placed relative to a plane passing through the center of the rolling elements on the same side as the bearing face of the rotating ring on a diaphragm, and extending axially over at least a part of the space delimited by a radial plane passing through the bearing face of the rotating ring on a diaphragm and by a radial plane passing through the bearing face of the non-rotating ring on the operating element.
