 This occurs when contacting bodies vibrate against each other in the presence of very small loads, which pushes lubricant out of the contact surface area, and the bearing assembly cannot move far enough to redistribute the displaced lubricant.The result is a finely polished surface that resembles a brinell mark, but has not permanently deformed either contacting surface.This type of false brinelling usually occurs in bearings during transportation, between the time of manufacture and installation.
