Vetus RULAG2 Brass Cutlass Bearing for 2" Marine Propeller Shaft
The Vetus RULAG2 cutlass bearing is built for marine propulsion systems that operate with fully imperial (inch-based) shaft and stern tube specifications. Designed for a 2" propeller shaft and a stern tube measuring 2-5/8" in outside diameter, this model combines a durable brass shell with a polyurethane-rubber lining. Longitudinal grooves inside the lining ensure consistent water flow, providing essential lubrication and cooling during service.
Manufacturer Vetus Model RULAG2 Shaft Diameter 2" Outside Diameter 2-5/8" Length 8" Shaft Diameter (mm) 50.8 mm Length (mm) 203.2 mm Shell Material Brass Rubber Lining Polyurethane with longitudinal grooves Shell Size (inch) 2 5/8
Key Features
- Durable brass outer shell offering excellent corrosion resistance.
- Polyurethane-rubber lining engineered for long-lasting wear resistance.
- Longitudinal grooves ensuring efficient water lubrication and cooling.
- Designed entirely to imperial (inch) dimensions for shaft and stern tube compatibility.
- Suitable for motorboats and sailing yachts.
Technical Function
Cutlass bearings support and align the propeller shaft, minimizing vibration and friction during operation. The grooved polyurethane lining maintains a stable water film for improved lubrication, thermal stability, and long-term reliability in marine environments.
When to Choose Brass vs. Phenolic Bearings
- Brass bearings: Ideal for standard marine systems requiring strength, load capacity, and corrosion resistance.
- Phenolic bearings: Recommended for aluminum stern tubes or applications where galvanic corrosion must be avoided.
Vetus rubber bearings for larger shaft diameters are available on special order.
