Thus, highly accurate machining is possible. Then, when a preload command value falls out of range of a preload as a controllable region, the preload command value is corrected so as to fall within the range of the preload. That is, an actually controlled preload is regulated to fall within a preset range of a preload. Therefore, it is possible to ensure the stiffness of the rolling bearing or prevent heating and excessive increase in contact pressure of the rolling bearing.	01-06-2011
