Construction

Each RULAGER bearing consists of a brass outer bushing and an internal nitrile rubber lining. The bearing is installed around the propeller shaft within the stern tube or a compatible bearing housing.

The combination of metric shaft bore and imperial outer shell dimensions makes these bearings suitable for marine stern gear installations that use different measurement systems for the shaft and bearing housing.

Selection and Installation

Choose the appropriate Vetus RULAGER Cutlass bearing using the following three dimensions:

A – Shaft Diameter: Internal bearing diameter in millimetres.
B – Outer Shell Diameter: External diameter of the brass bushing in inches.
C – Bearing Length: Overall bearing length in millimetres.

Verify the propeller shaft diameter, bearing housing diameter and installation length before ordering. The bearing is designed for water-lubricated marine stern gear systems.
