Identify fake bearings using the World Bearing Association (WBA) app

In the context of modern economic realities and sanctions pressure on the Russian market, an acute problem of counterfeiting has arisen. Bearings of the world's leading brands turned out to be one of the most vulnerable product categories. Fake bearings pose a serious threat to the safety and reliability of equipment.

At the same time, independent identification of the authenticity of bearings "by eye" is extremely difficult even for experienced specialists.

The World Bearing Association (WBA) app

The World Bearing Association (WBA) is a global non–profit organization that has been in existence since 2006. She is engaged in the fight against counterfeiting in the field of bearing products. As part of its activities, WBA has developed a special application that allows users to determine the authenticity of bearings from leading global brands. The WBA application has become a tool that greatly facilitates the task of identifying fake bearings.
