Quite where the border lies between \"scuffing\" and \"incipient seizure\" I don\'t know, but I would in fact be tempted to translate these terms as \"scuffing / seizure\".

partial or outright bearing seizure (failure)


Explanation:
This is probably a roller or tapered bearing application, so scuffing etc and other problems associated with shell bearings would not apply. They wouldn't seize anyway, they'de just burn out.
This applies to several ball or taper bearings packing it in, or a race overheating and the whole mess coming to a halt.
