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.
