About this product

Product information from the supplier.

YJM Flanged Brass Stern Bearings are engineered for high-performance marine propulsion systems, featuring a robust construction of centrifugally cast naval brass. These precision-engineered bearings incorporate a heavy metal wall and an integral flange, ensuring a secure, solid bolting connection to the stern tube stuffing box for maximum stability in harsh maritime environments.

Designed for eco-friendly operation, these water-lubricated bearings eliminate the need for oil or grease, utilizing the surrounding seawater to provide a stable, low-friction lubricant film. With a specially formulated nitrile rubber liner bonded to the metal shell, YJM bearings offer exceptional resistance to chemicals, oil, and abrasion, while effectively dampening noise and vibration for a smoother voyage.

Key Advantages

Superior Durability

The high-durability rubber liner is specifically designed to resist abrasion caused by suspended particles in seawater.

Low Maintenance

Water-lubricated design eliminates the need for seals, oil, or grease, reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Eco-Friendly Design

By using seawater as the lubricant, it prevents pollution and protects the marine ecosystem from oil leaks.

Noise Reduction

The resilience of the rubber liner absorbs shock and dampens noise and vibration during vessel operation.

Precision Fit

Machined male pilots and precision molding ensure perfect concentricity and seamless installation.

Chemical Resistance

The nitrile rubber compound is secretly bonded to resist degradation from chemicals and petroleum products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the primary advantages of water-lubricated stern bearings?

They eliminate the need for oil or grease, making them environmentally friendly, reducing maintenance costs, and providing a stable lubricant film due to the incompressibility of water.

Q: How does the flanged design benefit the installation?

The integral flange allows for solid bolting to the stern tube stuffing box, and the machined male pilot ensures precise alignment with the female recess of the stuffing box.

Q: Is the rubber liner resistant to seawater debris?

Yes, the specially formulated rubber lining is highly resistant to abrasion caused by particles in the water, ensuring a long service life even in sandy or silty environments.

Q: Which materials are available for the outer sleeve?

Outer sleeves can be manufactured from Naval Brass, Bronze, or Stainless Steel, depending on the specific corrosion and strength requirements of your application.

Q: Can these bearings be used in industrial pumps?

Absolutely. They are widely used in cooling water pumps, ACW pumps, condensate extract pumps, vertical turbine pumps, and desalination plant pumps.

Q: Do YJM bearings come pre-drilled?

Standard flanged bearings are furnished UN-drilled unless specific drilling requirements are provided during the ordering process.
