Maritex Bearings are purpose made for seawater and uniquely designed for the dual purposes of water lubricated hydro-dynamic high speed rotating shafts as well as completely self-lubricating slow speed applications such as rudder and ride control bearings. Intended for ambient marine operating temperatures the material has outstanding dimensional stability for both wet & dry operating conditions.

 

Maritex Bearings in Silty Water

When operating for extended periods in silty water, customers with vessels operating in both temperate and tropical waters have reported that Maritex Aquarius propeller shaft bearings perform extremely well. In fact the performance of Maritex Aquarius bearings operating in silty water is well beyond their expectations.
