Is corrosion a problem in your marine bearing application?
Are excessive loads or speeds a challenge?
Need a material to resist sea spray, barnacle growth and other water hazards?
We have the answer to these marine bearing challenges.
The CJ bearing system might be the right fit ― it has even performed on elite America’s Cup vessels. Designed as a replacement for bronze, steel, rolling element bearings and even other polymers, CJ is a simple, self-lubricating bearing solution for marine, construction, railroad and other heavy-duty applications. Consider CJ bearings when loads are above 15,000 PSI and speeds are between 0-400 feet per minute.
CJ bearings NEVER absorb water, and excel in these marine environments:
- Naval submarines - Fairwater plane pivot bearings
- Self-unloading barges - Loading/unloading boom pivot bearings
- Off-shore oil rigs - Spherical bearings on pipe handling devices, door pivots on water bomber loading doors
- Inboard/outboard motor - Stern drive pivot points – variable pitch prop pivots
- Sail boats - Rudder bearings
- Water attractions - Underwater animatronics and other entertainment applications
