Abstract

According to this assembly, the means of fixing in terms of traction, which are used between the engagement piece (25) of the clutch release bearing (10) and the gripping piece (13) attached to the disengaging device (11) to be controlled, comprise, on the one hand, a fixing ring (32) engaged in a retaining groove (33) provided in the engagement piece (25) and, on the other hand, a driving bearing surface (34) provided on the gripping piece (13). According to the invention, that flank of the retaining groove (33) which is axially located on the side opposite the driving bearing surface (34) in relation to the fixing ring (32) is oblique relative to the axis of the unit as a whole. The invention is used, in particular, for clutch release bearings of motor vehicles.
