Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for adjusting the stroke length of a slide in a press. A sleeve works as a fluid bearing in relation to a shaft. Upon applying pressure to the sleeve, the sleeve creates an interference fit with the shaft. Once the interference fit exists, the position of the shaft can be adjusted to change the stroke length of the slide in the press.
