Abstract
The invention concerns a clutch release bearing comprising an antifriction bearing (1) provided with a rotating ring (5) and a non-rotating ring (10), and mounted on a control element (2) provided with a tubular part (3) and a radial flange (4) whereon is urged to rest a radial portion of the non-rotating ring (10), and a self-aligning sleeve (15) arranged between the non-rotating ring (10) and the control element (2). The self-aligning sleeve (15) is fixed by being clamped on a cylindrical shaft (13) of the member supporting it, and comprises a metal reinforcement (17) provided with a tubular portion radially delimited by two surfaces of revolution, one of the two surfaces being coated with an elastic substance forming self-aligning means.
