Bearings are common parts and key parts in industrial equipment, and the application of bearings is also very common. In order to make money, many businesses recycle some old bearings that have been used or have not been used as new bearings to buy. Today, LBCN Bearing will share with you how to identify whether the bearings are refurbished bearings when purchasing bearings.
1. Refurbishment of bearings is generally limited by the technical skills and machinery and equipment of small bearing manufacturers, so the bearing precision is low, the bearing surface is not smooth, the size of the rounded corners is uneven, and some have black skin and black spots.
2. The raw materials used for some fake and inferior bearings are general stainless steel sheets, carbon steel, malleable steel, and galvanized pipes, etc. Most of the materials are white in appearance, and the color of special bearing steel is greenish, but the color is still different. If it is not possible, it is necessary to make a thorough judgment on the strength. Generally, the strength of stainless steel plates is low.
3. Some small manufacturers are technically simple to dip in the fire, and the bearing will be slightly deformed when it is heated unevenly.
4. Rotate the spherical roller bearing to see if the rotation of the bearing is symmetrical and whether the sound is continuous without noise.
5. Looking at the cage, the bearing cage of the reliable manufacturer is neat and free of burrs, and the riveted bearing cage bolts have the same size of the pier head, while the unreliable manufacturer is technically technical in production and processing and simple in machinery and equipment, so the cage is not smooth and has Some riveted structural cages are unevenly divided and aligned, and the bolt pier heads are different in size or riveted.
6. Look at the packaging. Reliable manufacturers have consistent packaging, and the fonts on the packaging are clear. Some counterfeit bearings have inconsistent packaging, or are simply unreliable.
7. Look at the font of the inner hole of the bearing. The original bearing is very clear and well-proportioned regardless of the steel font or the laser font. The laser font has a certain depth. The counterfeit bearing font has broken marks, and the laser font is wiped off with a sand cloth. However, after wiping the font of the reliable laser with a sand cloth, there will be vague font imprints.
8. Look at the certificate. The bearings of reliable manufacturers all have the certificate and the size of the certificate is the same. Most of the certificate printing paper is oil-proof paper. The fonts are clear, and some manufacturers’ certificates have the content of viewing information on them. The certificates are fake, and the fonts are blurred. The printing paper is general printing paper, and the size of the certificate is different. It is recommended to set aside a reliable manufacturer’s certificate for reference.

I had a customer 2 years ago purchase a large Full L shaped pool, probably the largest pool I have sold through Specialty Pool Products. The size of the Full L pool was 26′ x 35′ x 60′ and they were looking to create a practice area for their kids that are on the high school diving team.
Originally this customer wanted the pool to be 12ft deep in the deep end diving area of the pool but our manufacturer will not provide Dig Specs for any pool deeper than 10ft deep. This customer also wanted to order a commercial dive stand and a 12ft long diving board. I told them about the very strict standards on what can be a diving pool and that a 12′ diving board would not be a possible selection because it did not meet code. I was able to get them an 10ft diving board with a steel stand which they are very happy with.
When it comes to a diving pool for a residential pool the diving stand and board must meet the minimum specification requirements for a residential inground diving pool. The governing body of the residential pools is ANSI/APSP/ICC-5 2011 and all residential pools must meet these requirements. Please see detailed requirements below for a residential diving pool; these dimensions can be very confusing. To help explain the minimum requirements the pool must be a minimum of 16ft wide and 32ft long and have at least an 8 ft hopper. The hopper is the area in the deep end which the water is deeper.
ANSI/APSP/ICC-5 2011 Standard for Residential In-Ground Swimming Pools
It is VERY important to ensure that the stand and board meet the minimum specifications for in-ground residential swimming pools.
Diving Board Safety Envelope – Depth/Distance
All of the options below must meet the ANSI/APSP/ICC-5 2011 for installation requirements. Check with chart above to figure what what class pool you have or are installing so you can figure what options are available for a diving pool. There are typically 4 classifications for a residential diving pool.
Dive Rocks – Provides an elegant diving board base option for customers that want to have the natural rock design in their backyard. This unique looking diving board base adds beauty and functionality to your backyard swimming pool. One of the Dive Rocks is called Boulder Springs from Interfab, this is available as a 6ft or 8ft option. As a rule of thumb a 16’x32′ pool can only install the 6ft option and our standard 18’x36′ & 20’x40′ can have either the 6ft or 8ft options installed on their pool.
Jump Boards – as with all diving boards you must classify the type of pool you have 1-5 to determine the proper size jump board for your backyard. When installing this jump board you must follow manufacturer’s requirements. One popular jump board which is especially recommended for a pool that has a salt water chlorine generator is the SR Smith Saltwater diving board. This diving board is available in 6ft or 8ft sizes. This is manufactured out of composite materials and guaranteed to resist rust often caused by salt water in pools. This diving board has composite springs with active spring feature which gives you a lot of spring when jumping off the diving board into the pool.
Diving Boards – We have many different diving boards to choose from our most popular is the style with the fiberglass diving base with either the 6ft or 8ft diving board. The sleek appearance and strong construction of the SR Smith Flyte Deck II Stand or the Interfab La Mesa make these two our most popular diving boards for vinyl pools.
Competition boards are typically used only on commercial pools or very large residential pools. Depending on depth of the pool and the slope to the shallow end, a vinyl pool could safely install a 1/2 meter board, but not a 3/4 meter or 1 meter board. The Interfab Techni-Beam 10 ft board could be a suitable practice board for
Installation of a dive stand and dive board
When installing a diving board or dive stand it is VERY important to follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions. There are certain requirements with installing a diving board such as how far the base of the diving board is located from the edge of pool water, how far board extends over the pool, and height above the pool water see instructions for very detailed guidelines and it is mandatory to follow these specifications in order to properly install your diving board. A properly installed diving board will help eliminate a careless injury.
Please make sure you pay very close attention to the technical information in regards to the installation there is a minimum distance from the edge of the pool to the stand on the diving board that is required. There are also requirements for bonding the diving board stand in many parts of the country, or connecting it to the electrical bonding wire that runs around the pool. Understanding the requirements for a diving board can be very confusing so give one of our experts at SPP a call and we can help make sure you get what is needed for your particular pool.
Seeing the kids’ smiles on their faces is priceless as they cannonball into the pool so keep those kids happy and install a diving board with your new inground swimming pool.

Thanks to the huge variety of items you can pawn, many of our customers are not sure where to start when considering taking out a pawn loan. Here at H&T, we thought it would be useful – especially for first-time customers or the simply curious – to create this list. These are the items we see the most of here at H&T and we lend against items like this every day.
Of course, these are just the most commonly pawned items – we accept many other valuable items as well. This can include antiques, art, collectables and other antique items. You’ll see that all of our most popular pawned items are branded, but it’s not always necessary to have a ‘name’ attached. Gold, silver or platinum jewellery can be used as loan security whether you know the maker or not, for example.
However, just because you own something on this list, doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll automatically get it accepted for a pawn loan. Read on to find out more about each item to find out what you should look out for when selecting something to use as security. Even if you know you’ll be pawning something else, you can still get a good idea of what makes a successful piece of pawn collateral.
Rolex Watches
Practically everyone has heard of Rolex watches. With so many other luxury watch brands out there, it’s amazing that Rolex has managed to hold onto its crown, but when you look at the craftsmanship, the ingenious design and range of styles available; it becomes clear how Rolex has secured their prestigious position in the world of luxury watchmaking.
Rolex watches are one of the most popular items we see here at H&T, and there are a huge number of models, designs and specifications out there. As one of the most expensive and coveted watch brands, you may wonder why so many people own Rolex watches. The answer rests with their worldwide popularity and the quality of the construction – Rolex watches are loved the world over, they’ve been sold for over a century, and they stand the test of time.
If looked after well, a Rolex watch should work for generations. This means they’re often passed down through family, or resurface after being forgotten about within an old friend or family member’s belongings.
Tag Heuer Watches
TAG Heuer watches are extremely popular and well-known in the world of high-end timepieces. The sportier style of TAG Heuer watches means they’re worn by many well-known sports stars, including Lewis Hamilton, Cristiano Ronaldo, Maria Sharapova and Tom Brady. You’ll also see TAG Heuer sponsoring or timekeeping for certain sports events, such as F1 racing.
We see a lot of TAG Heuer watches as they’re one of the more affordable luxury watch brands. This means that TAG is often the first port of call for those who are just starting to gain an interest in luxury watches. Their sportier style also appeals, as they make excellent ‘everyday’ watches. This certainly doesn’t mean that they lack refinement or quality – quite the opposite – hence their popularity and good resale potential.
Pawning a watch – what to look out for:
If you have the original box and any paperwork that comes with the watch, please keep all of this together. You’re likely to get a higher offer if you have these.
Damage to the watch, like scratches and dents, can obviously affect the value.
Check that a serial number, proper branding and the right materials have been used. Fake watches are more convincing than ever and you may need an expert opinion if you are unsure.
Any personal engravings like names or dates may affect the value of the watch.
The make and model of the watch will dictate the price for the most part – very new models and super retro designs will often command the best prices.
Louis Vuitton Bags
Louis Vuitton bags are instantly recognisable for their repeated ‘VL’ logo design and have been used by the famous and the wealthy for decades. With each bag and piece of luggage being expertly crafted by hand, it’s easy to see why they’re so popular all the world over.
As Louis Vuitton bags have been popular for so long, we see examples from many different decades come through our doors. While the design can fall in and out of favour when it comes to seasonal, short-lived trends – as with any of these luxury goods; they never go out of style. Collectors and those with an eye for vintage will still pay top price for older designs, particularly if they are limited edition.
Gucci Bags
Gucci are another luxury brand who have created a loyal following by creating beautiful, expertly crafted designer bags. Their ‘GG’ logo is instantly recognisable the world over and their classic designs never fall out of style. All Gucci bags are handcrafted and are built to stand the test of time, meaning that vintage Gucci bags can often pop up in pristine condition – a dream for collectors!
We see many different Gucci bag designs come through our doors here at H&T, from large shoulder bags to smaller clutches. Other luxury bag brands like Hermès and Chanel can command higher prices and are therefore rarer, but we still see them occasionally in-store.
Pawning designer accessories – what to look out for:
Genuine designer bags from both Louis Vuitton and Gucci, as well as some other high-end designers, will have a serial number (this may consist of letters and numbers) which is present on a leather tag located inside the bag somewhere.
The zips, chains, straps etc. will all be made from heavy, good quality metal. The metal hardware should not peel, scratch or dent.
The logo should be correct and any wording on labels should be spelled correctly, and be crisp and clear.
For some pieces, an authentication card may be included – keep this with the bag if you have one.
Genuine designer bags can hold a lot of value, but their condition will affect the price.
Tiffany & Co. Jewellery
Tiffany & Co – also known as Tiffany’s – is one of the most recognisable and coveted names in luxury jewellery. Based in New York and trading for over 180 years, Tiffany’s have earned their spot among the elite of the jewellery world, selling diamond and sterling silver jewellery to those with ‘taste and style’.
We see many Tiffany & Co necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings here at H&T. Designer jewellery holds value in two ways – firstly in the precious metals and diamonds or gemstones used, and secondly thanks to the name of the designer. For example, a silver bracelet without a designer name would usually just be worth the value of the metal, whereas a silver bracelet from Tiffany’s could be worth much more.
With this in mind, it’s always good to keep the original box and any paperwork or authentication cards: this will increase the value of your piece.
Cartier Jewellery
Cartier is regarded as one of the most prestigious jewellery designers and manufacturers in the world and has a long history of creating jewellery pieces for royalty. Using gold, diamonds and gemstones with exciting collections released each year, certain pieces of Cartier jewellery have been known to increase in value over time, contrary to many other trends.
Although Cartier pieces are on the high-end of pricing compared to other popular jewellery designers, we still see many necklaces, rings and earrings used for pawn loans. Any piece of Cartier jewellery will have been crafted by experts out of the best materials, so it’s made to stand the test of time and be passed down from one generation to the next.
Pawning fine jewellery – what to look out for:
All precious metals should be hallmarked. These are tiny markings which tell you the year the piece was made, where it was ‘approved’, and the quality of the metal. There may also be a maker’s mark present. If you can’t find any hallmarks, it may be because they have worn down or are hidden – it’s always worth having it checked out by an expert.
If you have the original box and any paperwork – particularly if the piece is by a well-known designer – these can increase the value of your jewellery considerably.
Precious metal is not magnetic. If you hold a magnet next to your jewellery and it attracts, then you may have plated metal or fake gold.
With diamonds, they shouldn’t fog up when you breathe on them (like a window does) as diamonds have high thermal conductivity. If you’re unsure, it’s always a good idea to have diamonds and any other precious gemstones inspected by an expert.

KASVAAKO LAPSI KÄYRÄLLÄ? MITÄ UUTTA LASTEN KASVUKÄYRISSÄ?
Kasvukäyrien avulla voidaan seurata lapsen kehitystä, ne toimivat ikkunana lapsen terveyteen. Käyrien avulla voidaan tunnistaa sairauksia ja terveysriskejä.
Lapsen kasvua arvioidaan jokaisella neuvola- ja kouluterveydenhuollon käynnillä, kasvukäyrien avulla sitä voidaan verrata terveiden ikätovereiden ja lapsen aiempaan kasvuun. Kasvun nopea taittuminen alas- tai ylöspäin ja reilu poikkeama ikätovereista voi olla merkki sairaudesta.
Kuopiossa saadun tutkimusnäytön mukaan seulonnalla voidaan tunnistaa kasvusairauksia, kun seulontarajat saadaan kohdalleen.
– Esimerkiksi tytöillä esiintyvä Turnerin oireyhtymä jää erinomaisella tarkkuudella kiinni, tutkija, lastenlääkäri Antti Saari toteaa.
Kasvukäyriä on myös tarpeen uusia, kun lasten kasvu muuttuu vuosikymmenten aikana. Saari on itsekin ollut mukana uusimassa suomalaisia kasvukäyriä.
– Imeväisiässä lapset kasvavat pidempinä kuin aiemmin keskimäärin, ja heti kolmen kuukauden iästä alkaen kasvu palasi vanhojen käyrien tasolle. Taas kuuden kuukauden iässä lapset kasvoivat pidempinä kuin aiemmin, Saari antaa esimerkkejä kasvukäyriin kohdistuneista muutostarpeista.
Saari pitää kasvukäyriä tärkeänä osana suomalaista terveydenhuoltoa, ja jopa erikoissairaanhoitoa. Lisäksi kasvun seurannalla saadaan laajemmin tietoa terveydestä ja sen muutoksista väestötasolla.
– Niillä on kaksivaiheinen tarkoitus: pystymme seuraamaan lapsia yksilötasolla, lisäksi saamme siitä erittäin arvokasta väestötason terveystietoa esimerkiksi lasten ylipainon kehittymisestä, miten lapset ylipäätään kasvavat tai onko esimerkiksi murrosiän kasvupyrähdys aikaistunut.
Mitä uutta seurannassa on tapahtunut ja mitä kasvukäyrät oikeastaan kertovat? Kuuntele Antti Saaren puheenvuoro:
Puheenvuoro on taltioitu 29.9.2017 Itä-Suomen yliopiston järjestämässä Tutkijoiden yö -tiedetapahtumassa Kauppakeskus Matkuksessa, Kuopiossa.
