When you pay for SKF quality you should get SKF quality.

You may not be able to tell which is a real SKF bearing, but your machine will!

Due to today’s sophisticated reproduction techniques, very good forgeries of SKF product boxes are being produced, increasing the odds that counterfeit bearings will slip into the legitimate market.

As well as this, some counterfeit bearings look so much like the real thing that only a trained technician can tell them apart. However, the poor quality of counterfeit bearings – and the risk they pose to equipment – can sometimes be revealed after just a few hours of use.

Counterfeit bearings can degrade and fail quickly, even catastrophically, bringing a plant’s production line – and profits – to a halt. The results could include expensive damage to capital equipment, or injury to machine operators and other plant personnel.
