How to Distinguish a Genuine Bearing From a Counterfeit one
-
Packaging: Genuine Koyo bearings come in high-quality packaging with clear printing and logos. Look for the JTEKT Corporation name (Koyo's parent company).
-
Laser Marking: The bearing itself should have clean, laser-etched markings (not printed or stamped), including the Koyo name, model number, and country of origin.
-
Hologram or QR Code: Some Koyo bearings have a hologram sticker or a QR code you can scan to verify authenticity.
-
Finish & Quality: Original bearings have a smooth, precise finish—no rough edges or sloppy machining.
-
Authorized Dealer: Buy only from official Koyo distributors or trusted retailer
