Abstract: According to the system engineering point of view, any kind of technical product, regardless of the size and complexity of its structure are how a system should achieve the intended technical process and in this process relies on the input and output into contact with the outside world. Any mechanical system\should be achieved economically task book the required technical capabilities and maintain the safety of people and the environment as part of its general goal to pursue. Regardless of economic feasibility, technical capabilities alone to achieve the target will lose mechanical practical value. In the automotive power transmission process, the role of the clutch release bearing by means of the axial displacement of the bearing to connect or disconnect the power transmission between the transmission and the engine, thus completing the smooth start the car, suspended and transform operations such gear. Automobile clutch release bearings are vital parts clutch parts of the merits of its performance, the car's handling performance vehicle has great influence. Release bearing fatigue life analysis is based on the bearing rings or rolling fatigue spalling began to appear, a phenomenon with exposure to cyclic stress related. Rolling elastic contact between components belong, the contact stress analysis methods used in the past experience or simple analytical method. In this study, bearing materials, lubricants, sealing structure, fatigue life test and simulate working conditions failure data processing methods have raised new research content, by establishing a new release bearing fatigue life model for complex systems, the introduction of the smelting process, the surface defect, roughness, residual stress, EHL oil film, environmental cleanliness, temperature, variable load characteristics And other factors that affect the fatigue life. The results showed that: release bearing new life prediction model is closer to the actual condition clutch for further study a new generation of high- speed heavy automobile clutch release bearings provide a theoretical support.
