Vetus RULAG Brass Shell Rubber Cutlass Bearing for Propeller Shafts 1"–4" Imperial Sizes
The Vetus RULAG 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 the stern gear assembly.
The RULAG series is manufactured with imperial dimensions for the shaft bore, outer shell diameter and bearing length. Available sizes accommodate propeller shaft diameters from 1" to 4".
Key Features
- Brass outer shell: Metal bushing for installation in compatible stern tubes and bearing housings.
- Nitrile rubber lining: Internal bearing surface designed for water-lubricated shaft operation.
- Water lubrication: Suitable for marine propulsion systems using water-lubricated Cutlass bearings.
- Imperial dimensions: Shaft bore, outer diameter and bearing length are specified in inches.
- Available shaft diameters: From 1" to 4".
- Outer shell diameters: From 1 1/2" to 5".
- Bearing lengths: From 4" to 16".

Construction
Each Vetus RULAG bearing consists of a brass outer bushing and an internal nitrile rubber lining. The brass shell provides the external mounting surface, while the rubber lining forms the bearing surface around the propeller shaft.
The bearing is intended for water-lubricated stern gear installations using imperial shaft and bearing housing dimensions.
Selection and Installation
Select the correct Vetus RULAG Cutlass bearing according to the following dimensions:
- A – Shaft Diameter: Internal bearing diameter in inches.
- B – Outer Shell Diameter: External diameter of the brass housing in inches.
- C – Bearing Length: Overall bearing length in inches.
Confirm the propeller shaft diameter, stern tube bore and available installation length before ordering.
Larger shaft bearing sizes are available on special request.
