Zusammenfassung:PCT No. PCT/US96/03396 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 1, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 1, 1998 PCT Filed Mar. 13, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/30661 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 3, 1996Axially spaced radial bearing units (30, 50) for a shaft assembly are pre-loaded by hydraulic pressure. Each of the bearing units is mounted to an axially displaceable seat (40, 60). The pre-loading pressure between the two bearing units (30, 50) is maintained at a constant pre-loading pressure by a hydraulic pressure which is exerted in chambers (44, 64) partially defined by the seats. A pressure accumulator (70) supplies pressure to the chambers (44, 64) so that a constant pre-loading pressure may be applied to the radial bearing units (30, 50) while allowing for axial displacement of the bearing units and the shaft (12).
