28TAG12 Precision Clutch Release Bearing 28.5x51.6x15.57mm Automotive Aftermarket

Precision Engagement: Engineered to provide seamless engagement and disengagement between the clutch pressure plate and the transmission diaphragm spring, ensuring a smooth, shudder-free pedal feel for the driver.
Bespoke Manual Assembly: Clutch bearings are highly sensitive to assembly stress. In our specialized independent workshop, technicians manually seat the bearings and seals, eliminating the risk of internal micro-fractures often caused by high-speed automated pressing machines.
Custom Heat-Resistant Lubrication: Standard automated factories often under-grease components. We manually pack each 28TAG12 bearing with a premium, high-temperature-resistant synthetic grease, specifically formulated to survive the intense friction heat generated within the transmission bell housing.
Advanced Dust Sealing: Features a heavy-duty sealing design that effectively locks in the lubricant while completely blocking out highly abrasive clutch friction dust and metallic particles.
High-Purity Steel Construction: The raceways and rolling elements are manufactured from vacuum-degassed chrome steel, offering superior resistance to rolling contact fatigue.

Product Introduction

Introduction

The 28TAG12 is a high-demand Clutch Release Bearing (also known as a throw-out bearing), boasting precise dimensions of 28.5 mm x 51.6 mm x 15.57 mm. As a critical component in manual transmission vehicles, its primary function is to transfer the linear motion of the clutch fork to the rotating diaphragm spring. Because a failing clutch bearing causes severe transmission noise and eventual gearbox failure, absolute reliability is non-negotiable. Our localized, hands-on manufacturing philosophy ensures that every single 28TAG12 unit is individually assembled, grease-packed, and rotationally tested by human hands. This meticulous, artisan-level verification guarantees zero-defect performance, making it a highly trusted SKU for auto parts wholesalers serving rigorous driving environments across the globe.

Applications

Passenger Vehicles: Direct replacement for manual transmission clutch systems in compact and mid-sized sedans.
Light Commercial Vehicles: Serves as a reliable aftermarket component for light duty pickup trucks and delivery vans.
Clutch Kit Assembly: An essential component for aftermarket B2B suppliers offering comprehensive 3-piece clutch replacement kits.

FAQ

Q: Why is manual assembly better for clutch release bearings?
A: Clutch bearings contain delicate seals and self-aligning mechanisms. Automated presses apply blind force, which can warp the retaining clips or pinch the seals. Our manual assembly process relies on human tactile feedback, ensuring every component is seated perfectly without any hidden damage.
Q: Can we order this bearing in neutral packaging for our local market?
A: Yes, we provide standard unbranded neutral boxes to facilitate fast local distribution. We also offer full OEM custom packaging if you wish to sell under your own brand.
Q: Is the 28TAG12 ready for installation out of the box?
A: Absolutely. Each unit is pre-packed with the exact required volume of high-temperature grease and is 100% ready for immediate installation by automotive mechanics.

Packaging Customization

We understand the diverse needs of the global automotive aftermarket. For the 28TAG12, we offer individual anti-rust polybag sealing enclosed in either a generic neutral carton or a fully customized, full-color OEM retail box. We can apply laser marking directly onto the bearing housing with your specific brand name or regional part numbers, enhancing your brand's professional image.

Shipping & Delivery

Our independent workshop model allows us to be highly agile with order fulfillment. After strict final quality checks, the individual boxes are packed into heavy-duty master cartons and secured onto ISPM-15 standard fumigated wooden pallets. We have deep experience managing LCL and FCL ocean freight logistics to high-demand automotive markets, particularly in South America, Africa, Russia, and the Middle East.
