PROPELLER SHAFT BEARINGS
Market-leading durability
Tenmat marine bearings offer market-leading durability and low noise, even in the harshest conditions without contaminating the aquatic environment. Tenmat marine bearings are manufactured from fibre-reinforced thermoset material making them ideally suited to propulsion line applications such as stern tube and bracket bearings.
Durability, stability, low friction and superior wear resistance.
They offer the best combination of durability, stability, low friction and superior wear resistance to be found on the market today. Tenmat Marine Bearings are fully approved by all major class societies for water and oil lubrication. They are the ideal choice for water (open flow and closed loop) and oil (mineral, synthetic and especially EAL) lubrication.
PROPELLER SHAFT BEARINGS
Used in a wide range of vessels
Tenmat propeller shaft bearings do not require water treatment systems and are time-proven in open water bracket bearings used in a wide range of Naval vessels, including patrol boats, corvettes, frigates, destroyers, aircraft carriers and even submarines where the low noise signature of Tenmat bearings is unrivalled.
Tenmat marine bearings are easy to install and are often supplied as a complete package fitted in metallic housing
Offering longer operational life and lower operational costs. Tenmat’s hard-wearing propeller shaft bearings are an ideal choice for Naval vessels, and commercial ships, from fishing vessels to bulkers, tankers, Aframax and Cruise Ships with over 8000 vessels being successfully fitted to date.
Market-leading wear performance
Resistant to abrasive waters, resulting in lower wear rates and increasing the time required between repairs.
Shaft-friendly bearing design
Optimises performance and reduces shaft scarring – and in turn, protects the bearings from further damage.
Minimal water swell and thermal expansion
Tenmat is able to supply bearings with a very small clearance between the shaft and bearing, ensuring less shaft movement and initial bearing wear during start-up.
Accepts misalignment capable of absorbing high shock loading
Thus accommodating misalignment without damage or fracturing – meaning long-lasting bearings irrespective of the quality of shipbuilding
Stocked at strategic worldwide locations
Significant worldwide stocks of Feroform and Railko base tubes are held at strategic locations worldwide, allowing for immediate despatch to supply within tight repair schedules.
Works with all lubrication systems
Can operate with seawater, oil, or grease lubrication. Tenmat composites can be used to replace failing metal bearings at short notice.
Materials
Feroform T12
Feroform T12 is a composite material made from woven fibre bonded with resin with molybdenum disulphide as a friction modifier.
Railko NF21 & NF22
Railko NF21 and NF22 grades have a resin-bonded composite structure with added friction modifiers to control friction.
