Complete Guide on How to Identify Fake Bearings
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 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.
