INDRON® TSTN Water-Lubricated Bearings have been successfully used to replace traditional metal stern tube bushings on bulk carriers, tugboats, and working vessels. User Pain Point: Metal bearings require regular lubrication, frequent inspection, and are prone to corrosion. Our Advantage: INDRON® bearings offer self-lubrication, extended service life, and corrosion resistance, ensuring reliable performance even in sand-laden or silted waters.

In rudder systems, INDRON® replaces bronze or rubber bushings prone to wear and misalignment. User Pain Point: Traditional bearings can deform or seize under high load or during idle periods. Our Advantage: INDRON® resists cold flow, performs well under static pressure, and maintains shape without deformation. It's also customizable to fit unique shaft or housing tolerances.

On dredgers and vessels with rotating thrusters or cutter shafts, INDRON® bearings withstand vibration, axial load, and abrasive particles. User Pain Point: Bearings often fail due to sediment ingress and complex shaft movements. Our Advantage: INDRON® bearings feature abrasion-resistant fillers, composite fiber reinforcement, and low-friction surfaces that ensure stable performance and reduce maintenance.

INDRON® bearings are used in vertical seawater pumps and sealing systems due to their non-metallic, non-sparking, and dry-run capable nature. User Pain Point: Metal parts suffer erosion or cavitation in high-flow saline environments. Our Advantage: INDRON®’s resistance to chemical corrosion and cavitation makes it ideal for long-term operation in desalination systems, ballast water pumps, and offshore facilities.

As marine renewable energy expands, INDRON® bearings are applied in tidal stream and wave energy turbines. User Pain Point: Remote locations make maintenance difficult and costly. Our Advantage: INDRON® offers oil-free, long-life solutions with zero leakage, ideal for environmentally sensitive, unmanned marine platforms.
