The comparator 58 determines whether or not the change width Δf of the natural frequency has reached a width corresponding to an appropriate preload amount of the combination bearing 10 set in advance. If it is determined that the temperature has reached, the signal generator 59 outputs a caulking end signal. In response to the caulking end signal, the caulking mold 26a of the swing type caulking device 21 is used.
Is returned to the origin.

When assembling, the preload detecting means detects the preload while increasing the tightening performed on the inner ring by the tightening increasing means, and determines whether the detected preload has reached a predetermined value by the preload determining means. When the preload reaches a predetermined value, the tightening performed on the inner ring is released by the tightening release means, and the assembly of the bearing is completed by the release of the tightening. The amount can be properly secured.
