Bearing Preload Explained by Kamal Arab is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Pivoted shoe journal bearings are designed with preload to describe the relationship between the bearing bore and shaft diameter and bearing clearance. Preload is calculated as the difference between the bearing and shaft diameters divided by the difference between the shoe and shaft diameters. A larger shoe diameter results in a higher preload value, while a shoe diameter approaching the shaft diameter results in a preload value approaching zero. Orion standard bearings are designed with a preload value of
