MARINE CUTLASS BEARINGS

Michigan Wheel’s Aqualube bearings offer a high quality solution for water lubricated shaft applications. Aqualube bearings are designed with longitudinal grooves that form a hydrodynamic wedge, or water film, between the shaft and the bearing, even during slow speed operation. This water film is capable of absorbing shock, and reducing vibration and noise.

Aqualube bearings are built from chemical and oil resistant nitrile rubber, and are available with brass and non-metallic (Phenolic) shells to fit many applications. Every bearing is inspected to ensure quality. Michigan Wheel stocks a large inventory of common sizes, and special sizes are available upon request.

Aqualube Brass Bearings

A tough, durable marine bearing that has a corrosion resistant, naval brass outer shell and is lined with a specially compounded rubber designed to achieve high degrees of toughness, resilience and shock resistance.

Aqualube Phenolic Bearings

All Aqualube bearings are engineered to be compatible with metric or imperial shaft tolerances. 100% of the bearings produced are inspected for quality and must meet Michigan’s strict quality standards before they are released to our customers. Phenolic shells are less reactive and can help reduce chances of corrosion in some applications such as aluminum .
