Vetus RULAGER35 Brass Cutlass Bearing for Ø35 mm Shaft, Ø1⅞" Outer Diameter, Length 140 mm
The Vetus RULAGER35 is a high-quality cutlass bearing designed to support and align the propeller shaft in marine propulsion systems. It features a brass outer shell for strength and corrosion resistance, and a polyurethane rubber lining with longitudinal grooves that promote continuous water flow for lubrication and cooling. This design reduces friction, absorbs vibration, and extends the service life of the shaft system. It is suitable for motorboats and sailing yachts operating in demanding marine environments.
Main Features
- Polyurethane rubber lining with high resistance to wear and deformation
- Brass outer casing in inch dimensions for strength and corrosion protection
- Grooved inner surface ensures proper water flow and lubrication
- Designed for metric shaft diameter and imperial stern tube size
- Reduces friction, noise, and vibration during operation
- Available for larger shaft diameters upon request
Technical Data
Specifications Product Code RULAGER35 Manufacturer Vetus Shaft Diameter Ø35 mm Outer Diameter Ø1⅞" (47.63 mm) Length 140 mm Shell Material Brass Lining Material Polyurethane Rubber
Material Options
- Brass Bearings: Recommended for most marine applications due to their high durability, load capacity, and corrosion resistance.
- Phenol Bearings: Preferred in aluminum stern tubes or environments where galvanic corrosion must be avoided (phenolic resin shell construction).
Additional Information
The Vetus RULAGER35 brass cutlass bearing plays a critical role in ensuring accurate shaft alignment, reducing wear, and maintaining propulsion efficiency. Its water-lubricated design allows for continuous cooling and smooth rotation, even during extended operation. The robust brass construction guarantees long service life, while the polyurethane liner minimizes vibration and noise transmission through the hull.
Vetus rubber bearings for larger shaft diameters are available upon special order to accommodate various vessel configurations.
