Key Features

Phenolic resin outer shell for lightweight, corrosion-free performance.
Polyurethane rubber lining with high wear resistance.
Grooved inner surface for continuous water lubrication and cooling.
Designed for metric shaft and stern tube diameters.
Suitable for motorboats and sailing yachts.

Technical Function

Cutlass bearings support and align the propeller shaft while minimizing friction and vibration. The water-lubricated grooved rubber lining ensures stable operation and long service life in demanding marine environments.

When to Choose Phenolic vs. Brass Bearings

Phenolic bearings: Recommended for aluminum stern tubes or installations requiring full avoidance of dissimilar metal contact.
Brass bearings: Standard for most marine applications due to their strength, although not preferred in corrosion-sensitive or mixed-metal configurations.

Vetus rubber bearings for larger shaft diameters are also available on special order.
