🔹🔸 These days, unfortunately, the market of fake bearings and rolling bearings has become very hot. For this reason, the biggest concern of every person who is looking to buy these parts is the ways to recognize them. A fake bearing will fail very quickly or will not work properly. Therefore, sometimes it even causes the device to fail and as a result cause severe damage to us. 🔹🔸 Although if the bearing is not purchased from reputable centers, sometimes we may not realize that the part is fake until we use it, but there are still many ways that we can partially recognize its originality when buying. We also mention 5 of them here, but if you want to get to know all kinds of ways in full, we talked more about this in the article "Methods for distinguishing genuine bearings from counterfeits".
♻️ Main and fake bearings detection ways
♻️ type of packaging 🔹🔸 The color and shape of the box and packaging indicate whether the bearing is original or fake. ♻️ Writings on the bearing 🔹🔸 The font of the writings on the bearing (the technical number engraved on it) is different for each brand. So, one of the ways to recognize is to pay attention to the size and shape of the font of the writings. ♻️ Manufacturer country Brands such as SKF and FAG engrave the technical number of manufactured products according to that country. For example, the ZZ608 bearing is usually made in Italy, and if this bearing, which is made in Germany, is purchased in this country, it is definitely fake. Pay attention to the catalog 🔹🔸 Before buying, you should pay attention to the codes in the catalog of each brand and match them with the code on the bearing and its box. ♻️ Price 🔹🔸 Naturally, another way to distinguish the original bearing from the fake is to pay attention to its price. You can check the price of bearings on foreign sites and compare them with the price of Euro and Dollar, as well as the cost of transportation, seller's profit and storage. This gives a price range for each buyer, who can find out if this bearing is original or not.
