Vetus RL1012 Brass Cutlass Bearing for 100 mm Marine Propeller Shafts
The Vetus RL1012 is a water-lubricated cutlass bearing engineered for marine propulsion systems using a 100 mm shaft and a stern tube with metric outer diameter. It combines a strong brass outer casing with a polyurethane-rubber lining designed with longitudinal grooves to ensure reliable water flow for cooling and lubrication. This configuration reduces friction and vibration while providing stable shaft alignment in demanding marine environments.
Key Features
- Polyurethane-rubber lining with high wear resistance
- Brass outer casing for mechanical strength and corrosion resistance
- Grooved inner surface for optimal water lubrication and cooling
- Designed for fully metric shaft and stern tube dimensions
- Suitable for both motorboats and sailing yachts
- Available for larger shaft diameters upon request
Technical Specifications
Parameter Value Shaft Diameter 100 mm Outer Diameter (Shell Size) 125 mm Length 400 mm Shell Material Brass Lining Material Polyurethane-rubber Lubrication Water-lubricated
Application and Use
Cutlass bearings are essential for supporting and aligning the propeller shaft. Their water-lubricated rubber lining reduces friction, absorbs vibration, and ensures long-lasting performance in marine environments where continuous operation and exposure to water are expected.
Brass vs. Phenolic Bearings
- Brass bearings: Ideal for standard marine applications due to their durability, corrosion resistance, and ability to handle dynamic loads.
- Phenolic bearings: Typically used in aluminum stern tubes or where galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals must be avoided.
