Fan Clutch Bearing

The fan clutch bearing is a part of a vehicle’s fan clutch, which is a component that connects or disconnects the vehicle’s fan from the serpentine belt. The fan clutch is typically mounted on the spinning cooling fan, so it has a bearing that also allows it to spin on an axle. Since the fan clutch spins thousands of times a minute during operation, this bearing will wear out and might create noises and other issues after many years of use.

Fan Clutch Pulley Assembly

The Fan Clutch Pulley Assembly is bolted to the clutch of your engine’s cooling fans. The pulley assembly is typically driven by a belt connected to the engine, bringing power from the engine to the clutch. The fan clutch then uses this power to regulate the cooling fan while it’s engaged, thus removing extra heat from the engine by drawing air from the vehicle’s radiator. This process cools the engine while the vehicle is running.

Fan Motor

Fan motors are responsible for spinning your vehicle’s cooling fan, which blows cool air into your vehicle’s radiator. The fan motor has a critical role when it comes to vehicle cooling, as the radiator needs the fan to blow cool air when the vehicle isn’t traveling at high speeds. During this time, not much air can enter the vehicle’s grilles. Hence, the cooling fan and fan motor need to work to push air into the radiator to dissipate heat from the hot engine.

Friction washers can come in different shapes and sizes, but they’re usually made of a mix of different materials, such as steel fiber, graphite, and phenol resin.

When the float is near the top of the tank, it holds a wiper on the variable resistor close to the grounded side of a strip of resistive material. This allows more current through the sending unit to the fuel gauge, indicating a relatively full tank. When the float sinks, the wiper also moves, the resistance goes up, and the amount of current that gets sent to the gauge decreases, which the gauge interprets as low fuel levels in the tank.
