Rubber bearings for propeller shafts, Ø 20–150 mm.

Aqualube/Nakashima Cutless rubber bearings – reliable performance for demanding boating conditions.

Aqualube/Nakashima rubber bearings offer excellent durability, smooth shaft support, and quiet operation for all types of boats. These top-of-the-line propeller shaft rubber bearings are designed for demanding marine and freshwater conditions.
The outer shell of water-lubricated rubber bearings is made of brass or composite material, and the bearing surface is made of high-quality nitrile rubber, with molded water grooves that ensure excellent water lubrication of the bearing. This design ensures excellent wear resistance and natural lubrication.

Vibration-free and precise shaft alignment

Optimised internal rubber grooves ensure a smooth flow of water through the bearing, significantly reducing friction and vibration. This improves boat performance, extends the life of the propeller shafting and makes for a more comfortable ride.
Available in several sizes and models:

• sailboats
• for motorboats
• for commercial vessels
• traditional and modern axle-drive systems
• special models for industrial applications as well
