Automated bearing setting techniques have been developed to insure economy and reliability with regard to the assembly and setting of tapered roller bearings in a wide variety of machinery and equipment. The application of these concepts is designed to minimize or eliminate the human variable of judgment and skill during the assembly operation. The full effectiveness of these concepts can be utilized only if machinery is properly designed to accommodate these methods. Emphasis will be placed on design considerations to achieve this end. Various setting techniques will be presented that are currently being used successfully on a production basis.
