Vetus ZWB3044 Replacement Set for ZWB30 Inner Bearing with Stuffing Box – Dual Lip Seal Upgrade Kit
The Vetus ZWB3044 Replacement Set is designed to modernize and improve older Vetus ZWB30 inner bearings that originally used conventional stuffing boxes. Suitable for 30 mm propeller shaft systems, this replacement kit introduces advanced dual lip seal technology, providing double protection against water ingress and eliminating the need for frequent maintenance associated with gland packing seals.
The flexible self-aligning bearing design ensures smooth shaft operation, compensating for slight misalignments and maintaining consistent sealing under all operating conditions. Each unit features dual vulcanized sealing lips that prevent water leakage and extend component life by reducing friction and wear.
When performing the upgrade, it is strongly recommended to install a water scoop set to ensure a steady flow of water for lubrication and cooling. This guarantees optimal performance and longevity of the seal and bearing system, even under continuous load and high-speed operation.
