Since we usually talk about preload in terms of axial preload for tapers, we need to convert our estimated radial loss into an axial equivalent. The example in Figure 1 is an exaggeration, of course; we usually aren’t talking about complete loss of preload. Rather, how preload changes with temperature so that we can eventually design that back into our system.
