Two scales
pulling apart
The slider seats the races. Runout falls. Friction climbs. There is no perfect value, only a window, and you can watch both edges of it.
A number set
by feel
There is always clearance between the races and the balls. While it is there the shaft wanders, and precision goes with it. Preload is when you seat the races in advance, before any working load arrives.
Sounds like a free win. But a seated ball rolls harder: friction climbs, the bearing heats, service life drops. So preload is never "more", it is exactly enough.
Machinists set it by feel, by hand, by the sound. It is computable, and it has been for decades. Nobody bothered to make it look like anything.

The token has not launched. The proposed developer allocation is 5%, with a planned 6-month lock followed by 18 months of linear vesting. These are plans, not verified on-chain arrangements. Contract, liquidity lock and vesting evidence are pending publication.
This project promises no returns and makes no price predictions. No ownership, income or redemption rights are promised. You can lose everything you put in.
The bench runs on reference curves for a 6204. It illustrates the relationship. It is not an assembly calculation.
