rudder bearings

Orkot® TLM Marine has been used in a large number of rudder bearing applications worldwide. It offers the following advantages over traditional bearing materials: * The material is non-conductive and so offers protection against electrolytic corrosion * Virtually no swell in water * Dry running capability * Protects housings from corrosion * Elasticity reduces the effects of hammering * Tolerant to misalignment and shaft deflections * Raw material tubes are available from stock or can be manufactured in 1 or 2 working days * Easily machined on site * Classification approval for up to 15N/mm2 When an interference fit is utilised: * Can be fitted using a press / jacks or freeze fitted with liquid nitrogen * No additional retention method required
