Morse Rubber Brass Sleeved Shaft Bearings

Features:

• Morse Marine Bearings are rubber lined and water lubricated
• The use of water as a lubricant provides efficient low friction operation and a stable lubricant film due to the water's incompressibility
• Outer Material: pollution-free naval brass marine bearings
• Rubber-lined naval brass sleeve bearings adapt equally well to strut and stern-tube mounts
• External brass shells are machined and polished to provide easy fitting
• They require no seals and no oil or grease for lubrication
• Lubrication is provided by the water in which the vessel is traveling, making these bearings environmentally friendly
• High durability rubber liner is resistant to abrasion caused by particles in the water
• The rubber is also oil and chemical resistant
• Specially formulated oil and chemical-resistant nitrile rubber is securely bonded to the shell
• The resilience of the rubber liner allows these bearings to dampen noise and vibration
• Morse Marine Bearings are precision molded and machined for consistently accurate dimensions and concentricity
• Locked in place with cone-pointed set screws
• Sleeve bearings are usually installed by light press fitting

Bearing Selection:

• Normal design practice is to select a bearing with a length equal to 4 times the shaft diameter
• It may be acceptable to deviate from this rule when application load requirements permit the use of shorter bearing lengths

Bearing area is:

• Bearing shaft diameter x bearing length

Loading capability is determined by:

• Multiplying that Bearing area x 35 PSI
• Example: 3" Shaft diameter x 12" Length x 35 PSI = 1,260 lbs (Bearing load capacity)
