Arrangement for adjusting preload of taper roller bearing, has elements providing spacing between rings during absence of pressure, where one ring includes indicator unit to display deformation of elements

摘要

The arrangement (1) has an inner ring and an outer ring (4) arranged in an axial direction, and rolling members arranged between the inner ring and the outer ring. Deformable spacing elements (12) are arranged between intermediate rings (6, 8), where the deformable spacing elements are homogeneously distributed. The spacing elements provide a spacing between the rings during absence of pressure. One of the rings includes an indicator unit (14) to display deformation of the spacing elements under pressure applied on the other ring such that the former ring rests against the latter ring. An independent claim is also included for a method for adjusting preload of a taper roller bearing.
