Please, experts in machinery, help me determine whether the bearings I purchased from SKF are genuine. I asked SKF to verify their authenticity, and they said they were genuine, but they refused to provide me with a verification report; they also refused to respond to my requests via email. Does anyone know the contact information for SKF’s brand protection department? Thank you all very much.
I think it’s fake; SKF doesn’t seem to sell the Explorer series in China, and any product with the word \"Explorer\" on it is, in my opinion, counterfeit
How is that possible to tell? ?
The work quality is clearly very poor, and the SKF office doesn’t provide a proper response; I think there’s something fishy going on~~
There are too many fake SKF products in China these days. Some dealers, once they build a closer relationship with their customers, will actively sell fake products, which can even come with certificates of origin. Even SKF’s headquarters staff are unable to tell the difference between genuine and fake products. However, fake products have much lower precision, a shorter lifespan, and it’s not possible to tell the difference just by looking at them
Fake product; after inspection, the quality of construction and packaging is extremely poor.
What does 0120 on the packaging box mean, and is it necessarily corresponding to that in the bearing?
The packaging box doesn’t matter; what’s important is the inscription on the bearing
From personal experience, this is false. Because the outer packaging looks very rough. The printed patterns and text are not clear, and there is significant fading. The surface finish of the internal bearing is poor, resulting in darker markings. It’s like old bearings that are recycled and refurbished.
http://www.skf.com/cn/zh/services/brand-protection-contact/index.html Bearing verification: If you are not sure whether the SKF bearings you purchased are authentic, you can send an email to “ipr.china@skf.com” to request verification. You can also download the SKF Inspection App to take photos of the bearings as required and automatically submit an inspection request. Senior SKF certification experts review the submitted information to certify the bearing and send the certification results via email. The SKF Authenticate app is now available on the Apple App Store and Android platforms; you can search for “SKF Authenticate” in the store to download it for free.
It’s been verified; they say it’s real~~~~:L
