Duramax Bearings



DuraBlue Stern Tube Bearings



DuraBlue water-lubricated stern tube bearings are manufactured using a unique synthetic reinforced composite that incorporates solid lubricants for superior operation and outstanding wear life in blue water applications. The composite resin matrix was designed to withstand the rigors of seawater operation and frictional heat generated when used in stern tube propulsion systems.

  • Pollution Free
  • Approved for 2:1 L/d operation
  • Ultra low friction propulsion bearing - COF 0.001
  • High strength-to-weight ratio
  • Internal lubricants for superior operation
  • Proprietary fiber/resin matrix for extended wear life

Duramax DuraBlue Greaseless Rudder Bushing



DuraBlue is a self lubricated composite bushing designed for use in highly loaded oscillatory applications such as found in rudder, pintle and stearing gear assemblies. DuraBlue needs no lubrication and is exceptionally wear resistant with an extremely long wear life. It has a low coefficient of friction value of 0.1 to 0.2, resulting in no stick-slip during operation. DuraBlue experiences virtually no swelling in seawater, and a very low thermal coefficient of expansion. Its proprietary fiber matrix greatly extends wear life and a self-lubricating formulation for dry running.
durablue
  • No lubrication is required
  • High load capacity
  • Dimensionally stable
  • Chemical and corrosion resistant
  • Tolerant to edge loading
  • Sizes available: 1" - 42" (2.5 - 107cm) outside diameter.
