Abstract:
A system for providing a load on a bearing mounted to a shaft includes an attaching member releasably connectable to the shaft and a press mechanism in fluid communication with a source of fluid and configured to provide a compressive load to the bearing. The press mechanism includes a switch having a base and a piston in communication with the fluid such that an increase in a pressure of the fluid results in the piston extending upwardly from the base and a decrease in the pressure of the fluid results in the piston retracting toward the base. The switch includes a lower proximity sensor and a higher proximity sensor. The piston is configured to extend upwardly from the base past the lower proximity sensor and to trip the higher proximity sensor. The switch is configured to control the increase in the pressure in response to the piston tripping the higher proximity sensor.

Claim (Index 12):
A method for use in providing a load on a bearing mounted to a shaft, the method comprising:\n mounting an attaching member to an end of the shaft; coupling a press mechanism to the attaching member, the press mechanism configured to provide a compressive load to the bearing; coupling the press mechanism to a source of fluid; providing a pressure of the fluid from the source to the press mechanism to provide the compressive load to the bearing and changing the pressure of the fluid; the changing the pressure of the fluid causing a piston of a switch of the press mechanism to extend from a base of the switch past a first proximity sensor of the switch to trip a second proximity sensor of the switch; and the switch controlling the pressure of the fluid to control the load on the bearing in response to the piston tripping the second proximity sensor.
