Abstract
System and method for the identification of a mechanical component, in particular a bearing or a hub bearing unit of a vehicle or a ring thereof, consisting of a marking applied directly onto an exposed surface of the mechanical component, performed using a photopolymerizable ceramic ink which is printed on the exposed surface by an inkjet printer having a resolution equal to, or greater than, 700 dpi and which is at least partly vitrified using a heat treatment at a temperature equal to or higher than 700° C., preferably after fixing of the ceramic ink on the exposed surface by UV irradiation.
