Abstract

See full text

A hub rotates around a spindle on bearings which have angular raceways so that the bearings are capable of carrying both axial and radial loads and may be adjusted into a condition of preload with an axially directed force applied to one of the races, usually the outboard race on the spindle. That force which represents the preload in the bearings, is transmitted through a force sensor which produces a signal that reflects the magnitude of the force. By monitoring the force sensor, one can adjust the bearings to a desired preload.
