Abstract

A clutch release bearing including cooperative inner and outer race rings with included rolling elements, and a holding ring having a first flange closely adjacent and facing a second flange of one of said rings, one of said two flanges having spiral grooves or other means for providing with a fluid hydraulic pressure between said flanges, thereby urging said inner and outer race rings together for maintaining a generally fixed axial relationship between them.
