RTB TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SPECIFICHE TECNICHE The preload of the bearings increases the stiffness and the rotational accuracy. In presence of a load from the outside, the preload of the bearing eliminates or avoids the clearance corresponding to the elastic yielding due to the load itself. In this case, for a given range of loads, the elastic deformations caused by the load are smaller rather than in a non-preloaded bearing. Assuming approximately the stiffness is linear (rollers in contact with tracks) at the same axial load, the axial deflection is smaller in a preloaded bearings system...

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SPECIFICHE TECNICHE5. FRICTION ■ As for the bearings, the friction depends on many factors, the most important of which are: ■ preload ■ viscosity and amount of the lubricant ■ applied load ■ bearing size ■ rotational speed i.e.: ■ A bigger preload turns out in a bigger rolling friction torque ■ Tightening values affect considerably riotion values. As for RTB bearings the fixing of the inner ring screws reduces to zero the dimensional c r inner axial clearance as well as the elastic comp1' ssion of the inner ring.
