PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bearing device capable of visually easily confirming whether it is damaged or it should be replaced even in a dark and narrow place.SOLUTION: The bearing device of the present invention is characterized in that it includes a discrimination part that makes it possible to discriminate the presence or absence of excessive input which is the occurrence of an action of a load equal to or greater than a predetermined value and/or a displacement equal to or greater than a predetermined value depending on a change in visibility/invisibility with colors. Such a feature is realized by, for example, (1) providing a pre-coloring part which is different in colors from other parts, is substantially invisible at all times, and becomes visible when excessive input occurs, (2) providing a pre-coloring part which is different in colors from other parts, is substantially visible at all times, and becomes invisible when excessive input occurs, and (3) forming a coloring part which is provided with a pigment housing part for housing a pigment and serves as a portion colored in a color different from that before flowing out with the pigment flowing out from the pigment housing part at the time of the occurrence of excessive input.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】暗くて狭い場所でも視覚的により容易に、破損しているか若しくは交換すべきか否かを確認することができる支承装置を提供する。【解決手段】本発明の支承装置は、色彩による視認の可否の変化によって、所定以上の荷重の作用及び／又は所定以上の変位の発生である過大入力の有無を判別可能とする判別部を備えることを特徴とする。このような特徴は、例えば、（１）他の部分とは色彩が異なり、常時は実質的に視認不可能であり、過大入力発生時に視認可能となる予着色部を設けること（２）他の部分とは色彩が異なり、常時は実質的に視認可能であり、過大入力発生時に視認不可能となる予着色部を設けること（３）色素を収容する色素収容部を設け、過大入力発生時に色素収容部から流出した色素により流出前とは異なる色彩に着色された部分である着色部を形成することにより実現される。【選択図】図１
