Vetus RULAG11/2 Brass Cutlass Bearing for 1-1/2" Marine Propeller Shaft
The Vetus RULAG11/2 cutlass bearing is engineered for marine propulsion systems using imperial shaft and stern tube measurements. Made for a 1-1/2" shaft and designed for installation in a stern tube with a 2" outside diameter, this model features a robust brass shell combined with a polyurethane-rubber lining. The lining includes longitudinal grooves that ensure stable water flow for lubrication and cooling during operation.
Manufacturer Vetus Model RULAG11/2 Shaft Diameter 1-1/2" Outside Diameter 2" Length 6" Shaft Diameter (mm) 38.1 mm Length (mm) 152.4 mm Shell Material Brass Rubber Lining Polyurethane with longitudinal grooves Shell Size (inch) 2
Key Features
- Durable brass outer shell with excellent corrosion resistance.
- Polyurethane-rubber lining offering high wear resistance.
- Grooved internal surface ensuring continuous water lubrication and cooling.
- Designed fully to imperial (inch) shaft and stern tube dimensions.
- Suitable for both motorboats and sailing yachts.
Technical Function
Cutlass bearings support and align the propeller shaft while minimizing vibration and friction. The grooved polyurethane lining enables consistent water flow, improving lubrication, cooling performance, and long-term operating reliability in marine environments.
When to Choose Brass vs. Phenolic Bearings
- Brass bearings: Preferred for standard marine setups due to durability, mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance.
- Phenolic bearings: Recommended for aluminum stern tubes or installations where galvanic corrosion must be avoided.
Vetus rubber bearings for larger shaft diameters are available on special order.
