Marine Bearings

Rubber and water make the perfect combination for a bearing material and a lubricant.

The Aqualube range of rubber sleeved and flanged bearings, stocked by Bracewell Marine for your convenience, is designed for both marine and industrial applications. The bearings feature a specially formulated rubber, moulded into various shell materials. The rubber is an extremely tough, chemical and oil resistant nitrile which offers outstanding resistance to abrasion and wear, even in the most adverse conditions.

The metric range covers shaft sizes from 25mm up to 140mm in diameter. The imperial range covers all standard shafts from 3/4″ up to 6 1/2″ in diameter.

This range of bearings is to suit applications where electrolysis is a problem through metal to metal contact. Available to suit imperial and metric shafts from 3/4″ to 6″ or 25mm to 130mm in diameter.

Flange bearings in imperial sizes from 3 1/2″ up to 9 1/4 ″ Shaft size. Special bearings with spiral grooves or replaceable staves can be designed to suit specific applications. Split bearings can also be supplied. Please contact us.
