Vetus RL1012PH Phenolic Cutlass Bearing for 100 mm Marine Propeller Shaft
The Vetus RL1012PH cutlass bearing is engineered for propulsion systems requiring precise shaft guidance, water-lubricated operation, and long-term durability. Designed for a 100 mm shaft and intended for a stern tube with a 125 mm outside diameter, the bearing combines a phenolic resin shell with a polyurethane rubber lining. Longitudinal grooves within the lining maintain a continuous water film for cooling and lubrication, ensuring stable operation even under heavy load.
Manufacturer Vetus Model RL1012PH Shaft Diameter 100 mm Outside Diameter 125 mm Length 400 mm Shell Material Phenolic resin Rubber Lining Polyurethane with longitudinal grooves Shell Size (inch) 4 23/32
Key Features
- Lightweight, corrosion-free phenolic resin outer shell.
- Polyurethane rubber lining with high wear resistance.
- Longitudinal grooves for stable water lubrication and cooling.
- Designed for metric shaft and stern tube diameters.
- Suitable for both motorboats and sailing yachts.
Technical Function
Cutlass bearings support and align the propeller shaft while reducing friction, vibration, and wear. The grooved rubber lining ensures adequate water circulation, providing reliable lubrication and maintaining optimal operating temperature during continuous marine service.
When to Choose Phenolic vs. Brass Bearings
- Phenolic bearings: Ideal for aluminum stern tubes or applications that require avoiding dissimilar metal contact.
- Brass bearings: Standard for many marine systems due to strength and corrosion resistance, though less suitable in galvanically sensitive environments.
Vetus rubber bearings for larger shaft diameters are available on special order.
