Application and Use
Cutlass bearings are essential for supporting and aligning marine propeller shafts. Their water-lubricated rubber lining reduces friction, absorbs vibration and ensures reliable long-term performance under demanding marine conditions.
Brass vs. Phenolic Bearings
- Brass bearings: Ideal for standard marine applications due to their durability, corrosion resistance and ability to withstand dynamic loads.
- Phenolic bearings: Recommended for aluminum stern tubes or installations where galvanic corrosion must be avoided.
