Vetus RL11/2PH Phenolic Cutlass Bearing for 1-1/2" Marine Propeller Shaft
The Vetus RL11/2PH cutlass bearing is engineered for marine propulsion systems requiring a corrosion-free, non-metallic bearing solution. Suitable for a 1-1/2" propeller shaft and installation in a stern tube with a 2" outside diameter, this model features a phenolic resin outer shell combined with a polyurethane-rubber lining. The lining incorporates longitudinal grooves that maintain a continuous water film for efficient lubrication and cooling during operation.
Manufacturer Vetus Model RL11/2PH Shaft Diameter 1-1/2" Outside Diameter 2" Length 6" Shaft Diameter (mm) 38.1 mm Length (mm) 152.4 mm Shell Material Phenolic resin Rubber Lining Polyurethane with longitudinal grooves Shell Size (inch) 2
Key Features
- Non-metallic phenolic resin outer shell that cannot corrode.
- Lightweight construction ideal for aluminum stern tubes.
- Polyurethane-rubber lining engineered for high wear resistance.
- Grooved inner surface ensuring continuous water lubrication and cooling.
- Imperial (inch-based) sizing for full compatibility with marine shaft systems.
- Suitable for sailing yachts and motorboats.
Technical Function
Cutlass bearings support and align the propeller shaft while minimizing friction, vibration, and mechanical wear. The grooved polyurethane lining maintains a stable flow of water across the bearing surface, ensuring effective lubrication, thermal stability, and long-term operational reliability in marine environments.
When to Choose Phenolic vs. Brass Bearings
- Phenolic bearings: Recommended for aluminum stern tubes or installations where galvanic corrosion must be prevented.
- Brass bearings: Standard for most marine applications requiring high structural strength and corrosion resistance.
Vetus rubber bearings for larger shaft diameters are available on special order.
