Vetus ZWB2540 Replacement Set for ZWB25 Inner Bearing with Stuffing Box – Dual Lip Seal Upgrade Kit
The Vetus ZWB2540 Replacement Set is specifically engineered to upgrade older Vetus ZWB25 inner bearing assemblies equipped with traditional stuffing boxes. Designed for 25 mm propeller shaft systems, this kit replaces outdated gland packing components with a modern, flexible inner bearing featuring dual vulcanized sealing lips for superior protection against water ingress.
This dual-seal system offers double security, ensuring reliable, long-term performance and minimal maintenance. The flexible design provides a self-aligning function, maintaining a perfect seal even in the presence of slight shaft misalignments. The upgrade eliminates the need for constant adjustment and repacking typical of conventional stuffing boxes.
To guarantee proper lubrication and cooling, the installation of a water scoop set is recommended. This ensures a continuous flow of cooling water to the bearing area, preventing overheating and extending the service life of both the seals and the shaft system.
