Rubber cutlass bearing

for propeller shafts

The fluted bearings design utilises basic lubrication principles to allow the formation of hydrodynamic water-wedges at the bearing surfaces by flow of water from the grooves. NOISE AND VIBRATION ABSORPTION Shaft speed The maximum operating speed of a Silverline bearing is known to be in excess of 35m/s (7000fpm). The minimum speed is around 0.05m/s (10fpm) Silverline bearings are suitable for all applications where bearings are submerged or where liquid can be piped for lubrication, and loads and temperatures are not detrimental to rubber. Other sizes not listed below can be ordered if required.
