Clear seawater serves as an optimal and cost-effective lubricant for rubber bearings. In comparison to conventional metal bearings, rubber bearings offer distinct advantages: a remarkably low friction coefficient, prolonged lifespan due to high resistance to friction wear, vibration prevention through rubber resilience, accommodation of very high peripheral speeds, allowance for high radial loads, and swift removal of suspended solid particles in water to prevent damage to bearing areas. This translates to reduced installation and maintenance costs, as well as interchangeability of spare parts.
The bearings feature an outer screen crafted from premium corrosion-resistant brass suitable for seawater conditions. Internally, the bearings are lined with sulfur-free soft nitrile black rubber. Lubrication is achieved through water, forming a thin film between the shaft and rubber, resulting in an exceptionally low friction coefficient.
