Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of setting a bearing system is provided, The method includes applying a first set-up load to the bearing system. The method also includes measuring a first set-up clearance value between a cup carrier of at least one of a first tapered roller bearing and a second tapered roller bearings and a housing. The method further includes applying a second set-up load to the bearing system. The method includes measuring a second set-up clearance value between the cup carrier of at least one of the first and second tapered roller bearings and the housing. The method also includes determining a final set-up clearance value between the cup carrier of at least one of the first and second tapered roller bearings and the housing. The method further includes positioning a shim between the cup carrier of at least one of the first and second tapered roller bearings and the housing.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A method of setting a bearing system having a first tapered roller bearing and a second tapered roller bearing, wherein the first and second tapered roller bearings are spaced apart from each other along an axis of rotation, the method comprising: applying a first set-up load to the bearing system; measuring a first set-up clearance value between a cup carrier of at least one of the first and second tapered roller bearings and a housing, based on the application of the first set-up load; applying a second set-up load to the bearing system, wherein a value of the second set-up load is different from a value of the first set-up load; measuring a second set-up clearance value between the cup carrier of at least one of the first and second tapered roller bearings and the housing, based on the application of the second set-up load; determining a final set-up clearance value between the cup carrier of at least one of the first and second tapered roller bearings and the housing, based on the first and second set-up clearance values; and positioning a shim between the cup carrier of at least one of the first and second tapered roller bearings and the housing, wherein a thickness of the shim corresponds to the final set-up clearance value.
