| Characteristics | The performance is close thordon, which can use more equipment assembly methods. In addition to traditional installations by freezing and pressurizing. It can also be installed by coating reactive thermal polymerization Dx and cold sticking. | Good wear resistance and impact resistance. The bearing hardness is high; the shaft sleeve is easy to wear; the temperature difference changes greatly; there will be the risk of shelling; the price is high. | Wear-resistant, heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, lubricated by pump circulating water, capable of dry grinding for a short time, high requirement on accuracy in processing and assembly, fragile and the most expensive. | It has a long history and mature manufacturing process, featured by wear resistance, anti-seismic, impact resistance, convenient assembly/disassembly and low price (only 20% of ceramic bearings price) | Wear resistance and impact resistance require a set of more complicated sealing and lubricating devices and mechanisms. |
| Lubricating requirements | Clean water can be used for lubrication or 150s dry start according to the material grades. | Dry start more than 180S without clean water lubrication. | It can be lubricated by pumping medium without special clean water lubrication. | Clean industrial water | Grease lubrication requires a grease supply lubrication system. |
| Working temperature | ≤70ºC | ≥273ºC | The bearing itself can withstand the temperature of 1,400ºC | ≤50ºC | ≤65ºC Short time up to 80ºC |
| Application site | For pumping stations short of clean water or pumping stations requiring short-term dry friction, hRBR grade is suitable for water quality with moderate sediment content. | Pumping stations without clean water or pumping stations requiring dry friction of more than 180S. | Pumping stations without clean water or pumping stations requiring short-term dry friction. | Extensive application in any pumping stations with clean water sources. | The liquid of the pump itself cannot be used for bearing lubrication in the pumping station. |

INDRON® Marine Bearing Features
Superior Wear Resistance
INDRON® stern tube bushings are designed to withstand abrasive and sediment-laden water, significantly reducing wear and tear compared to traditional metal bearings.
Water Lubrication Compatibility
These bushings operate efficiently with clean or seawater lubrication, eliminating the need for oil-based systems and reducing environmental risks.
Extended Service Life
With excellent abrasion resistance and low friction properties, INDRON® bushings provide a longer lifespan, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
Versatile Material Grades
Available in multiple grades (e.g., INDRON® TSTN, HRBR, HAWF), each tailored to specific operational conditions, including high-sediment water and dry-start scenarios.
Easy Installation and Replacement
Compatible with various installation methods, including traditional press-fit and advanced cold-bonding techniques, ensuring quick and hassle-free replacements.
Environmental and Cost Benefits
By replacing oil-lubricated systems, INDRON® bushings help ship owners comply with environmental regulations while saving on operational costs.
INDRON® Stern Tube Bushing Applications
