Vetus RULAGER50 Brass Cutlass Bearing for 50 mm Marine Propeller Shafts
The Vetus RULAGER50 is a water-lubricated cutlass bearing engineered for marine propulsion systems using a 50 mm shaft and an imperial-size stern tube. It features a robust brass outer casing sized at 2 5/8" and a durable polyurethane-rubber lining with longitudinal grooves to ensure effective cooling, lubrication, and stable shaft support. Designed for both motorboats and sailing yachts, this bearing enhances alignment, reduces vibration, and maintains long-term operational reliability.
Key Features
- Polyurethane-rubber lining with high wear resistance
- Brass outer casing manufactured in 2 5/8" inch dimensions
- Grooved inner surface for improved water flow and lubrication
- Supports metric shaft diameter with imperial stern tube installation
- Suitable for a wide range of motorboats and sailing yachts
- Available for larger shaft diameters upon request
Technical Specifications
Parameter Value Shaft Diameter 50 mm Outer Diameter (Shell Size) 2 5/8" Length 200 mm Shell Material Brass Lining Material Polyurethane-rubber Lubrication Water-lubricated
Application and Use
Cutlass bearings are vital components for supporting and aligning marine propeller shafts. Their water-lubricated design reduces friction, absorbs vibration, and increases operational lifespan in demanding marine conditions.
Brass vs. Phenolic Bearings
- Brass bearings: Ideal for standard marine applications, offering durability, excellent corrosion resistance, and the ability to handle dynamic loads.
- Phenolic bearings: Preferable for aluminum stern tubes or applications where galvanic corrosion must be minimized.
