Osculati Imperial Brass Rubber Water Lubricated Propeller Shaft Cutless Bearings 1"–3"
Osculati Imperial Brass Rubber Water Lubricated Propeller Shaft Cutless Bearings are designed for supporting and guiding rotating propeller shafts in marine propulsion installations. The bearings feature a brass external housing and an internal hydro-lubricating rubber lining.
This imperial range includes 15 configurations for propeller shaft diameters from 1" to 3", external bearing diameters from 1 1/4" to 4" and overall lengths from 101.6 to 304.8 mm. The bearings are suitable for shaft line installations on US, UK and Australian boats.
Brass External Housing
Each bearing features a cylindrical brass external frame that forms the supporting structure for installation in the corresponding stern tube or marine shaft support assembly.
The brass housing provides the external mounting surface and surrounds the internal rubber bearing lining.
Hydro-Lubricating Rubber Lining
The internal bearing surface is manufactured from hydro-lubricating rubber, designed to support rotating propeller shafts in water-lubricated marine propulsion systems.
The rubber lining provides the shaft contact surface, while water lubrication supports shaft rotation and helps reduce friction during operation.
Imperial Shaft Line Applications
This Osculati bearing series is suitable for marine shaft arrangements using imperial internal and external diameters, including installations on boats from the United States, United Kingdom and Australia.
The manufacturer's catalogue provides the nominal diameters in inches alongside their corresponding metric dimensions.
Bearing Dimensions
The manufacturer's dimensional drawing identifies three measurements:
- Ø A – Shaft Diameter: Internal bearing diameter corresponding to the propeller shaft.
- Ø B – External Diameter: Outside diameter of the brass bearing housing.
- C – Length: Overall bearing length.
Available Models and Dimensions
The following table lists all 15 configurations according to the Osculati technical catalogue.

Alternative External Bearing Diameters
For a 1" propeller shaft, two external bearing diameters are available:
- Osculati 52.306.00: Shaft 1", external diameter 1 1/4", length 101.6 mm.
- Osculati 52.306.01: Shaft 1", external diameter 1 1/2", length 101.6 mm.
These configurations provide alternative external mounting dimensions for the same nominal shaft diameter.
