Vetus RULAGER40 Brass Cutlass Bearing for Ø40 mm Shaft, Ø2⅛" Outer Diameter, Length 160 mm
The Vetus RULAGER40 is a high-quality cutlass bearing designed to provide precise alignment and smooth rotation of the propeller shaft. It combines a brass outer shell for superior structural strength and corrosion resistance with a polyurethane rubber lining that includes longitudinal grooves to promote water flow for continuous cooling and lubrication. This configuration minimizes friction, absorbs vibration, and ensures reliable, quiet operation under demanding marine conditions. Ideal for use in motorboats and sailing yachts, the RULAGER40 delivers long-term durability and maintenance-free performance.
Main Features
- Polyurethane rubber lining with high wear resistance and flexibility
- Brass outer casing (imperial size) for strength and corrosion protection
- Longitudinal grooves enable efficient water lubrication and cooling
- Designed for metric shaft diameter and inch-sized stern tube diameter
- Reduces friction, vibration, and shaft wear
- Available for larger shaft diameters upon request
