Abstract
A method for setting a preload in a bearing assembly, the bearing assembly having at least one rolling-element bearing with at least one bearing inner ring and at least one bearing outer ring, the method including changing the preload in the bearing assembly starting from an initial value and measuring the electrical resistance between the bearing inner ring and the bearing outer ring and terminating the changing of the preload in the bearing assembly in response to a target value for the electrical resistance being reached.
