Application and Use
Cutlass bearings are essential for supporting and aligning marine propeller shafts. Their water-lubricated rubber linings reduce friction, absorb vibration and ensure reliable long-term operation even in harsh marine environments.
Brass vs. Phenolic Bearings
- Brass bearings: Ideal for standard marine installations thanks to their durability, strength and corrosion resistance.
- Phenolic bearings: Recommended for aluminum stern tubes or where galvanic corrosion must be avoided.
