Techemer - Water-Lubricated Bearings & Shaft Seals Manufacturer Since 2008 — ISO-Certified | Fully Patented
Marine Bearings
Every vessel, from cargo ships to workboats, relies on marine bearing to keep shafts, rudders, and propellers operating smoothly. Without the right marine shaft bearings or marine cutlass bearings, performance drops, energy costs rise, and unexpected failures can leave ships stranded.
At Techemer, we engineer INDRON® marine bearings that solve these challenges. Our advanced water-lubricated composite materials are designed to outperform traditional metal and oil-lubricated systems. Whether you need a marine thrust bearing, marine rudder bearing, or a complete marine bearing solution, we deliver reliability at sea.
High-performance propeller shaft bearing designed for marine propulsion systems. Water-lubricated elastomeric polymer alloy material delivers low friction, excellent wear resistance, long service life, and easy split installation for new builds and retrofits.
INDRON® TSTN water-lubricated rudder bearing is a high-performance, long-life marine bearing designed to replace Thordon SXL.
INDRON® water lubricated stern tube bearings are engineered to deliver exceptional durability, minimal maintenance, and long service life — even in the most demanding marine environments.
INDRON® split plain bearing solutions are specifically designed for water-lubricated marine applications, offering a high-performance and eco-friendly alternative to traditional metal and polymer bearings such as Thordon SXL.
INDRON® stern tube bushings are high-performance, water-lubricated bearings designed to replace traditional metal bearings in marine applications.
INDRON® marine bearings are widely used in bulk carriers and working ships. It has been proved in practice that the product can successfully replace metal stern bearings and rudder bearings in ship oil lubrication systems.
When it comes to ensuring smooth, reliable, and durable operation of your vessel's steering system, our water-lubricated self-lubricating rudder bushings are the perfect choice.
Our Marine Rudder Bushing is made from self-lubricating Techemer composite material, designed for water-lubricated rudder systems. It offers excellent wear resistance, low friction, and long service life, and is a proven replacement for Thordon SXL in marine steering applications.
The Stern Tube Bushing is a water-lubricated polymer bearing designed for marine propulsion systems, offering excellent wear resistance, low friction, dry-running capability, and reliable performance as a direct replacement for Thordon SXL.
Techemer TSTN water-lubricated stern tube bushing is a durable, self-lubricating, non-metallic marine bearing designed to replace Thordon SXL. It offers excellent wear resistance, low friction, dry-start capability, and long service life for stern tube applications while reducing oil pollution risk.
INDRON® specialize in customized request stern tube bushing solutions designed to meet the specific technical and environmental needs of shipbuilders, shipowners, and OEMs. Whether you require non-standard dimensions, special material grades, or advanced installation methods, our engineering team is ready to deliver.
Techemer TSTN rudder bearings provide a self-lubricating, water-lubricated alternative to Thordon SXL with long service life, high wear resistance, easy installation, and durability for heavy-duty marine rudder systems.

Why Is Marine Bearings Important
In marine environments, bearings face extreme stress, constant exposure to seawater, and continuous vibration. Key roles include:
- Marine shaft bearings: stabilizing the propeller shaft, reducing friction and wear.
- Marine thrust bearings: handling axial loads from propellers and engines.
- Marine rudder bearings: ensuring smooth steering under heavy loads.
- Marine bearing seals: preventing leakage and keeping systems efficient.
If your vessel struggles with frequent bearing replacements or oil leakage, it’s time to switch to a better solution.
