Vetus RL1PH Phenolic Cutlass Bearing for 1" Marine Propeller Shaft
The Vetus RL1PH cutlass bearing is engineered for marine propulsion systems that require corrosion-free, non-metallic components. Designed for a 1" shaft and intended for installation in a stern tube with a 1-1/2" outside diameter, this bearing features a phenolic resin outer shell and a polyurethane-rubber lining. The lining includes longitudinal grooves to ensure consistent water lubrication and cooling during operation.
Manufacturer Vetus Model RL1PH Shaft Diameter 1" Outside Diameter 1-1/2" Length 4" Shaft Diameter (mm) 25.4 mm Length (mm) 101.6 mm Shell Material Phenolic resin Rubber Lining Polyurethane with longitudinal grooves Shell Size (inch) 1 1/2
Key Features
- Non-metallic phenolic resin outer shell that cannot corrode.
- Lightweight construction suitable for aluminum stern tubes.
- Polyurethane-rubber lining with high wear resistance.
- Grooved internal surface for stable water lubrication and cooling.
- Fully imperial dimensions for shaft and stern tube compatibility.
- Suitable for both motorboats and sailing yachts.
Technical Function
Cutlass bearings support and align the propeller shaft while reducing vibration, friction, and wear. The grooved polyurethane lining ensures continuous water flow along the shaft surface, improving 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 systems where galvanic corrosion must be prevented.
- Brass bearings: Standard for general marine applications requiring strength and mechanical durability.
Vetus rubber bearings for larger shaft diameters are available on special order.
