Key Features

Phenolic resin outer shell that is lightweight and corrosion-free.
Polyurethane rubber lining with high resistance to wear.
Longitudinal grooves for stable water lubrication and cooling.
Designed for metric shaft and stern tube dimensions.
Suitable for both motorboats and sailing yachts.

Technical Function

Cutlass bearings support and align the propeller shaft, reducing friction and vibration while relying on water for lubrication. The grooved rubber lining maintains proper water circulation to ensure stable operating conditions and extended service life in marine environments.

When to Choose Phenolic vs. Brass Bearings

Phenolic bearings: Recommended for aluminum stern tubes or installations where metal contact must be avoided.
Brass bearings: Standard for most marine applications due to strength and corrosion resistance, though less suitable for galvanically sensitive environments.

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