pilot camp

The pilot bearing, also known as a guide bearing, is located in the crankshaft or flywheel, depending on the vehicle design, and guides the transmission input shaft precisely and centrally. It ensures that the input shaft can rotate smoothly during clutch engagement and engine operation without generating unnecessary friction, vibrations, or stress in the drivetrain. Depending on the design, it is a needle bearing, ball bearing, or plain bearing, designed for high speeds, axial loads, and thermal influences. The exact inner and outer diameters, width, bearing type, and appropriate material and lubrication are crucial. A worn or damaged pilot bearing can lead to noise, stiff shifting, vibrations, or increased wear on the clutch and transmission input shaft. At Autoteile Gossau, you will find pilot bearings in original and aftermarket quality for many vehicle models.
