Definition of pre-load in English English dictionary
- preload is the amount which a spring compresses when fitted to a shock absorber This is adjuested to modify your suspension
- An initial load on a part, which is independent of the load it is designed to bear Bearings are commonly supplied with a slight pre-load, that is, they are made to be slightly tighter than would permit the freest possible motion This is to prevent slop in the bearing, and to ensure that the stresses are shared by multiple balls or rollers Some suspension parts, particularly suspension stems and seatposts are designed with an adjustable pre-load This is adjusted so that in carrying the rider's steady-state weight, the part is pressed up against a stop, so that it doesn't bounce up and down with minor road irregularities or body movements When a more serious bump is hit, the suspension will respond to the greater load thus applied
- preload

- preload

- preload
- Preload is the control that adjusts the amount of sag in a suspension system (front or rear) Preload is adjustable on even the cheapest equipment and is usually achieved by altering the amount of air in the positive air chamber of an air sprung system, or winding on / off the preload ring that compresses the spring on a coil sprung system
- preload

- preload

- preload
- A measure of the degree to which cardiac muscle cells are stretched by the blood entering the chambers It can also be considered the volume of blood in the ventricle at the end of diastole (Compare to Afterload, the pressure in the arteries leading from the ventricles that must be exceeded by the ventricles to force the semilunar valves open )
- preload
- The possibility to increase the preload level of a spring and make it useable for a higher level For instance for rides with passenger to give suspension enough spring travel/sag
- preload
