Marine Rudder Bushing Built for Real Maritime Challenges

When you think about steering a large vessel smoothly through harsh seas, the marine rudder bushing is one of those small parts that makes a big difference. It supports the rudder shaft (rudder stock) and reduces friction so your steering stays responsive and reliable.

At Techemer, our marine rudder bushings are engineered from TSTN, a self-lubricating composite material that delivers long service life, excellent wear resistance, and consistent performance even in tough marine environments.

The Techemer TSTN marine rudder bushing is a high-performance, self-lubricating solution for rudder and stern systems on bulk carriers, tugboats, and workboats.

Marine Rudder Bushing Application

Whether it's a bulk carrier, tugboat, offshore vessel, or workboat, our marine rudder bushings provide the reliable, smooth steering performance that operators depend on. They're ideal for rudder systems that face heavy loads, frequent turning, and saltwater exposure.

Why Choose Our Marine Rudder Bushing?

Upgrade your pump and marine systems with Techemer TSTN water guide rudder bushings—the ultimate replacement for Thordon SXL. Experience superior performance, reliability, and cost savings.

Self-Lubricating & Water-Lubricated

Unlike traditional bearings that need grease or oil, our marine rudder bushings work naturally with seawater as the lubricant. That means less maintenance and no grease systems to worry about.

Excellent Wear Resistance

Using advanced composite material, these bushings withstand long-term operation under load without breaking down quickly — giving you longer life and lower overall cost.

Replace Thordon SXL Bearings Easily

Our product is designed as a direct upgrade or replacement for Thordon SXL rudder bearings. That means you don't have to change your design or mounting setup when you switch.

Suitable for Dry Starts & Heavy Loads

Techemer's marine rudder bushings handle dry start conditions and misaligned loads well — a practical advantage in real-world marine applications where perfect lubrication isn't always guaranteed.

Ordering & Customization

We know marine jobs don't always fit a standard size. That's why Techemer offers custom sizing and split-bushing versions

to match your exact rudder shaft dimensions and installation needs. Just send us your measurements or drawings.
