Marine Bearings

Marine bearings serve crucial functions in marine propulsion systems, supporting rotating shafts and the associated loads to contribute to the smooth operation of the vessel.

Our marine bearings are designed to support the axial and radial loads involved with the specification. A particular strength of our marine bearings is the design, which are fully self-contained and do not require external oil lubrication systems.

We offer a range of marine bearings including marine propulsion motor and generator bearings, propeller line shaft bearings, thrust blocks, internal gear box bearings and bulkhead seals to meet our customer requirements.
