Measuring friction torque (check)  
     
Note:  
     
Differential tapered roller bearings are low 
friction bearings. Therefore the friction torque 
only has a limited use as a check. Correct 
adjustment is only possible by determining the 
total shim thickness "S
total
." 
     
Do not additionally oil new tapered roller 
bearings for friction torque measurement. The 
bearings have already been treated with a 
special oil by the manufacturer.
