Stern Tube Bearings Key Features & Benefits
INDRON® materials have been carefully developed to optimize tribological performance in water-lubricated environments, making them an ideal solution for both stern tube bearings and marine rudder bearings.
Long Service Life
Proven to outlast most non-metallic water-lubricated bearings, including Thordon SXL, especially in bulk carriers and working vessels.Reduced shaft wear
Self-Lubricating System
Embedded microcrystals and pressure-resistant lubricating particles offer dry-start capability and continue to protect under boundary and starved lubrication.Lower total cost of ownership
Low Friction, High Wear Resistance
Balances dynamic loads and abrasive conditions with a low coefficient of friction, reducing shaft wear and vibration.
High Load Capacity
Supports dynamic surface pressures up to 10 MPa, suitable for heavy-duty stern shaft systems.
Excellent Water Lubrication Performance
Performs exceptionally in water as a lubricant; PV value up to 100 MPa·m/s, surpassing many competitors in harsh environments.
Environmentally Friendly
100% grease-free operation minimizes marine pollution and complies with EAL (Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants) regulatory trends.
