Complete Guide on How to Identify Fake Bearings

How to identify fake bearings is very important in the industry. Fake bearings can directly lead to the lack of competitiveness of brand bearings, and the termination of the brand caused the pride of the Chinese people to no longer be brilliant!

Understand bearing product brands and specifications

It is very important to understand the bearing brand. Knowing some well-known bearing brands can effectively avoid choosing inferior bearing products. Before choosing brand bearings, be sure to determine the specifications and brands of the bearing products you need in detail. Appropriate bearing specifications can not only effectively extend the life of the bearing. It is also the most effective way to avoid safety accidents.

Choice of place to buy

When you have determined the bearing brand and specifications, you must choose the place of purchase. There are two different ways. First, buy directly from the manufacturer of the bearing product. Second, choosing an agent or sales company with a good reputation and credibility is also a very good buying practice.

Is the outer packaging clear

Normally, there will be a professional designer to design the outer packaging of the brand bearing. And there is a special printing factory for production, so the packaging is very clear from lines to color blocks. Part of the brand's accessory packaging also has a unique design that protects its own intellectual property rights.

Is the steel stamp clear

The manufacturer will print the brand name, label, etc. on the bearing body. The font is very small, but most of the brand bearings use steel stamping technology. And the factory will emboss the word before the bearing is heat-treated, so although the font is small, it is deeply concave and very clear. The font of the fake bearing is not only blurred, but the font floats on the surface due to the rough printing technology.

Whether there is noise

Hold the inner sleeve of the bearing with your left hand, turn the sleeve with your right hand, and listen for noise. Due to the backward production conditions of most counterfeit products, it is inevitable that impurities sand in the production process. So it will have bearing noise when you rotate.

Whether there are turbid oil stains on the surface

Many small factories have immature anti-rust treatment methods.  So it is easy to leave thick oil stains when carrying out anti-rust treatment on the bearing body, which is sticky when held in the hand.

Whether the chamfering is uniform

The chamfer of the bearing is the junction of the horizontal plane and the vertical plane. Due to the limitation of production technology, the counterfeit bearings will have rough edges and corners.
