Relative movement between rolling bearing races and shafts or housings is frequently experienced in practice to cause a damage of fitting surfaces, and is known as the creep of rolling bearing races. It was generally agreed that the creep occurs due to the rolling motion of races on shaft or housing surfaces, but there has not been any experiment, which confirms the mechanism. The author has confirmed the mechanism experimentally. Also, the author reports the experimental results of slip motion as well as its quantitative interpretation, and classified the creep of slip due to oil film formation apart from the heretofore known creep due to rolling.
