Preloading
Preloading is the removal of internal
clearance by placing a permanent
thrust load on the bearings. Preloading
is used to satisfy one or more of the
following r equirements:
1. Elimination of all radial and
end play.
2. Incr eased rigidity of a system.
3. Reduction of non-repetitive runout.
4. Limitation of change in contact
angle between inner and outer
ring at very high speed.
5. Prevention of ball skidding under
very high acceleration.
Bearings shoul d not be preloaded
more than is necessary to obtain the
desired rigidity. E xcessive pr eloads
generate heat which reduces speed
capability and bearing life. Two basic
methods of achieving preload are:
1. Use of universal duplexed
bearings (DU).
2. Spring preloading. Different types of spring preloading.

Rigidity
For optimum performance, machine tool spindle bearings
must exhibit high rigidity as well as high precision. This
means that they must run precisely and must allow only
slight deflection under load. The double direction angular
contact thrust ball bearings achieve high rigidity through
their internal design with steep contact angle and internal
defined heavy preload.
This illustration of a milling spindle shows typical placement of a double
direction angular contact thrust ball bearing used in combination with
a double row cylindrical roller bearing in the workhead. The drive end
of the spindle features one double row cylindrical bearing.This combination
allows the spindle to operate with high rigidity at speed, while accommodating
both axial and radial loads.
