Application and Use
Cutlass bearings provide essential support and alignment for marine propeller shafts. Their water-lubricated rubber linings reduce friction, absorb vibration, and ensure long-term operational reliability in demanding marine environments.
Brass vs. Phenolic Bearings
- Brass bearings: Ideal for most marine applications thanks to their strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion and dynamic loads.
- Phenolic bearings: Preferred in aluminum stern tubes or where galvanic corrosion must be avoided.
