All major bearing brands are and have been counterfeited.   Do not think bec=
ause it's in a box from that company it's ok.  Don't think because it's mark=
ed correctly that it's ok.  I have seen and investigated aero engine failure=
s with bearings that are marked with our cage code and lots that trace to ac=
tual manufacturing lots.  However we track serial numbers and have real ones=
 service.  Only buy bearings from authorised sellers or distributors.  Anyth=
ing purchased through a third part is sceptical in my book=20
