<p>A method for mounting on a shaft (2) extending through a housing (1), a preloaded rolling bearing assembly incorporating first and second rolling bearings (6, 7) capable of supporting axial load, comprising the following features; mounting the outer race rings of both bearings (6, 7) in axially fixed positions in the housing (1), mounting inner race rings (6a, 7a) with shrink fit on the shaft (2), and with the rolling bodies disposed between said inner and outer race rings, introducing in the interface between the inner envelope surface of the inner race ring (7a) of the second bearing (7) and the shaft (2) a pressure medium, creating a thin medium film in said interface for allowing said inner race ring (7a) to be axially displaced, applying an axial force on said inner race ring (7a), measuring the axial force thus applied, draining the pressure medium from the interface between inner race ring (7a) and shaft (2), when a predetermined axial force is reached, and relieving said axial force. <IMAGE></p> |
