Vetus RL Brass Shell Rubber Cutlass Bearing for Propeller Shafts Ø25–100 mm
The Vetus RL Brass Shell Cutlass Bearing is designed for water-lubricated marine propeller shaft systems. Each bearing combines a brass outer shell with an internal nitrile rubber lining, providing support for the rotating propeller shaft within a compatible stern tube or bearing housing.
The RL series features fully metric dimensions for the shaft bore, outer shell diameter and bearing length. Available in eleven sizes, these bearings accommodate propeller shaft diameters from 25 to 100 mm.
Key Features
- Brass outer shell: Metal bushing designed for installation in compatible stern tubes and bearing housings.
- Nitrile rubber lining: Internal rubber bearing surface for water-lubricated shaft operation.
- Water lubrication: Designed for marine propulsion systems using water-lubricated Cutlass bearings.
- Metric dimensions: Shaft diameter, outer shell diameter and bearing length are specified in millimetres.
- Shaft diameter range: 25–100 mm.
- Outer shell diameters: 40–125 mm.
- Bearing lengths: 100–400 mm.
- Marine application: Suitable for propeller shaft and stern gear installations.

Construction and Materials
Each Vetus RL Cutlass bearing consists of a brass outer bushing and a nitrile rubber lining. The outer shell provides the mounting surface for installation in the stern tube, while the internal rubber lining forms the bearing surface around the propeller shaft.
The bearing is designed for water-lubricated operation in marine propulsion systems. All mounting and shaft dimensions are metric.
Selection and Installation
Select the correct Vetus RL Cutlass bearing according to the following dimensions:
- A – Shaft Diameter: Internal bearing diameter in millimetres.
- B – Outer Shell Diameter: External diameter of the brass bushing in millimetres.
- C – Bearing Length: Overall bearing length in millimetres.
Verify the propeller shaft diameter, stern tube bore and available installation length before ordering. All three dimensions must correspond to the required stern gear configuration.
Vetus RL brass shell Cutlass bearings are suitable for water-lubricated marine propeller shaft installations.
