Description
Overview:
This clutch release bearing is a heavy-duty replacement part for Thwaites, Benford and Winget site dumpers. It uses a durable graphite friction face to minimise wear and heat at the clutch pressure plate, helping the clutch engage and disengage smoothly and reducing maintenance. The assembly is sprung to keep consistent contact and operation under tough site conditions. Precision sizes help you confirm a correct match: 77 mm (3.03 inches) outside diameter, 38.5 mm (1.52 inches) inside diameter, 14 mm (0.55 inches) lug diameter, and 79 mm (3.11 inches) pin-to-pin distance. Commonly used on MACH 220 and MACH 221 machines, this bearing supports reliable day‐to‐day operation where frequent clutch use is required.
Key Features:
- Graphite bearing face for low friction and long service life in dusty, abrasive environments
- Sprung carrier maintains reliable engagement and smooth clutch release
- Engineered for the demands of site dumpers and frequent stop-start work
- Precise dimensions for simple identification and replacement: 77 mm (3.03 in) OD, 38.5 mm (1.52 in) ID, 14 mm (0.55 in) lug Ø, 79 mm (3.11 in) pin‐to‐pin
- Self-lubricating graphite helps resist glazing and reduces heat build‐up under load
- Aids smoother gear changes by reducing drag on the clutch system
- Robust build suitable for heavy-duty applications and extended operating hours
- Straightforward to fit when dimensions and mounting profile match the original part
Typical Applications:
Ideal for site dumpers working on housebuilding, utilities, landscaping, roadworks and quarry yards. Suited to machines that see frequent clutch cycling during loading, tipping and manoeuvring on uneven ground. Helps maintain predictable drive take‐up and prolongs clutch component life in daily fleet or hire use.
