Know the Product

The product knowledge platform for industrial products.

We resolve what a part is, what it’s equivalent to, and whether it’s already sitting on your shelf.

What Araday does

Product discovery

Resolve a partial number, a legacy number, or a description — down to the exact, orderable manufacturer part number.

Cross-referencing

Match any manufacturer’s part number to its equivalents across brands, with direct interchanges separated from close-but-not-exact substitutes.

Cross-selling

Surface the compatible parts, accessories, and assembly components that go with whatever was just identified.

Built for industrial parts. Coverage today is deepest in bearings, power transmission, and electromechanical — the categories where cross-referencing is hardest.

Why this is hard

Stamped on the part
B7026
What actually gets ordered
B7026C.TPA.P4.K5.UM

Contact angle, cage material, preload, precision class — everything after B7026 decides whether the part fits the application, and none of it is on the part itself. Somebody has to already know.
