<p>A method for determining the preload on a rotating assembly which may include a bearing and a rotating shaft where a force-displacement curve is developed by applying incremental force to the rotating shaft and measuring the displacement at each force increment. Displacement values may be compared to a master set of displacement values and a correction value derived from the difference between slopes in the elastic area of the two curves to determine the magnitude of the preload or endplay on the bearing.</p> |
