Engineered for superior performance, these bushings are designed to meet the highest standards of marine safety and efficiency.
Premium Materials for Durability: Our rudder bushings are crafted from high-quality self-lubricating composite materials, ensuring exceptional resistance to wear, corrosion, and marine environmental factors. They are tailored to withstand extreme conditions, delivering long-term reliability.
Customizable to Your Needs: We offer fully customizable solutions to match your vessel's specifications. Whether you need specific sizes, materials, or configurations, our engineering team will deliver bushings that fit perfectly with your rudder system.
Eco-Friendly and Maintenance-Free: The water-lubricated design eliminates the need for oil or grease, reducing environmental impact and maintenance costs. This ensures clean, efficient operation over the product’s lifecycle.
| Bearing type | Techemer bearing | AR bearing | Ceramic bearing | Rubber bearing | Babbitt alloy bearing |
| 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 | ≤70°C | ≥273°C | The bearing itself can withstand the temperature of 1,400°C | ≤50°C | ≤65°C Short time up to 80°C |
| 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. |

●Offshore platforms and marine equipment
Our bushings are engineered to provide consistent performance in diverse marine environments, from shallow coastal waters to deep-sea operations.
To ensure optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your rudder bushings:
●Proper Installation: Follow precise alignment and clearance recommendations during installation to avoid premature wear.
●Regular Inspections: Check for signs of wear, debris buildup, or abnormal noise during routine vessel maintenance.
●Replace as Needed: Replace bushings promptly if wear exceeds recommended tolerances to prevent further damage to the rudder system.
We provide a detailed installation and maintenance guide to support your team in achieving maximum efficiency with our products.
Our Strengths
Our water-lubricated self-lubricating rudder bearings are engineered from high-quality composite materials that provide excellent wear resistance, corrosion protection, and long service life in seawater environments.
Customizable to your specifications, from dimensions to material grades, ensuring a perfect fit and optimized performance for any vessel type.
