A/C Clutch Bearings

Find the right A/C clutch bearings for your vehicle’s make and model with our vast inventory. At Baker Bearing Company, we’re a leading A/C clutch bearings supplier in North America. Our high-quality bearings are engineered for maximum dependability and long-term performance for cars, trucks, transportation equipment, and heavy machinery. Our industry connections mean we can also source out-of-production bearings for older vehicles.

The Importance of High-Quality A/C Clutch Bearings

The A/C compressor clutch engages the compressor to the engine’s crankshaft. Without it, there’s no way for the compressor to activate. Over time, debris, moisture, heat, and wear can cause older bearings to fail, especially if vehicle OEMs didn’t invest in high-performance bearings.

Fortunately, when worn bearings cause compressor clutch failure, they can be replaced, avoiding the need to completely replace the A/C unit or compressor. This can save you a lot of money.

Choose high-quality bearings with carefully engineered seals and shields to protect against corrosion and moisture. Vehicle A/C compressors work hard, so you want bearings made of durable materials that can effectively handle the loads and RPMs.

Benefits of High-Performance A/C Clutch Bearings

Performance bearings feature precision engineering for a longer operational life. Durable materials such as steel can withstand continual use, high speeds, and high operating temperatures without premature failure.

Vehicles that face excessive debris, road chemicals, and other corrosives can benefit from A/C compressor clutch bearings that offer enhanced corrosion resistance. These configurations often use stainless steel, Teflon, or similar resistant materials for bearing seals and shields.

Advanced lubrication options can maintain seal performance and lower operating temperatures while protecting the bearings. Shields keep the lubricant inside and prevent contamination. In the long run, this means excellent A/C performance and enhanced vehicle comfort.

All Applications for A/C Clutch Bearings

A/C compressor clutch bearings follow standard configurations for vehicle A/C systems, which means they are not interchangeable with bearings for different systems. This type of bearing is used in all makes and models of cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs.

Industrial applications include:

• Agricultural equipment: Tractors, harvesters, and combines
• Construction machinery: Excavators, loaders, backhoes, bulldozers, dump trucks, cranes, and boom lifts
• Heavy equipment: Forestry machinery and mining equipment
• Transportation equipment: Box trucks and semi-trucks

A/C compressor clutch bearings for industrial uses need to be especially resistant to grit and moisture. Materials can include stainless steel, contact seals, and non-contact seals.
