Reliable propeller shaft support requires stable guidance with low friction and minimal corrosion risk. This Aqualube rubber bearing with phenolic shell is designed for water-lubricated shaft systems where a lightweight, non-metallic outer shell is preferred.

The longitudinal grooves in the nitrile rubber lining carry water through the bearing. As the shaft rotates, a hydrodynamic water film forms between the shaft and bearing surface, reducing direct contact and limiting wear.

Benefits

• Water-lubricated operation without oil or grease lubrication.
• Hydrodynamic water film reduces friction and wear.
• Wear-resistant nitrile rubber lining.
• Phenolic outer shell for the specified installation.
• Damps shock, vibration and noise in the driveline.
• 100% inspected for dimensional accuracy, rubber hardness and bond integrity by the manufacturer.
