Vetus RULAG60PH Phenolic Cutlass Bearing for 60 mm Marine Propeller Shafts
The Vetus RULAG60PH is a water-lubricated cutlass bearing engineered for propulsion systems using a 60 mm shaft installed in an imperial-dimension stern tube. Its phenolic resin outer casing, sized at 3", provides a lightweight, non-metallic and corrosion-free alternative to brass, making it especially suitable for aluminum boats or environments where galvanic corrosion must be prevented. The polyurethane-rubber inner lining features longitudinal grooves to enhance water flow, cooling, and lubrication for reliable shaft performance.
Key Features
- High-wear-resistant polyurethane-rubber lining
- Phenolic resin outer casing in 3" inch dimensions
- Non-metallic, corrosion-free design ideal for aluminum stern tubes
- Grooved inner surface for continuous water lubrication and optimal cooling
- Designed for metric shaft diameter and imperial stern tube diameter
- Suitable for both motorboats and sailing yachts
- Available for larger shaft diameters upon request

Parameter Value Shaft Diameter 60 mm Outer Diameter (Shell Size) 3" Length 240 mm Shell Material Phenolic resin Lining Material Polyurethane-rubber Lubrication Water-lubricated
Application and Use
Cutlass bearings are essential components for supporting and aligning marine propeller shafts. Their water-lubricated rubber linings reduce friction, absorb vibration, and provide long-term reliability even in demanding marine environments.
Phenolic vs. Brass Bearings
- Phenolic bearings: Ideal for aluminum stern tubes or applications where galvanic corrosion and dissimilar-metal contact must be avoided. Lightweight, non-metallic, and fully corrosion-free.
- Brass bearings: Preferred in standard marine installations due to strength and corrosion resistance, but not suitable for corrosion-sensitive environments requiring non-metallic components.
