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 short version is intended for installations where available installation length is limited.

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.
