Abstract
A method and device for establishing the correct amount that a bearing should be driven up a shaft involves measuring the strain on at least one of the side faces of the bearing ring through use of a sensor arranged on the side face of the bearing ring. The strain is measured while the bearing is being driven or moved along the shaft. The instantaneous bearing internal clearance reduction in the bearing can then be calculated from the measured instantaneous strain and the value for the known initial bearing internal clearance of the bearing.
