Bearings

Power Rubber Industries driveline center support bearings are certified by SPICER (India) and are interchangeable with all major truck applications. The components can equip the most popular light-duty pick-ups, vans, mid-size trucks, school buses and heavy duty highway vehicles.

Our bearing assemblies are constructed with frames made from reinforced heavy-gauge, cold-rolled steel for added strength, resulting in increased durability and service life. The bearing inserts are pre-greased and sealed at the factory, with a second grease barrier applied between the sealed bearing and dust shields to maximize protection – ready to install right out of the box.

Design Attributes

• Rubber designed to withstand vibration and ozone properties. Properties & performance (Load deflection, endurance, dynamic, mechanical & physical properties).

Cutless Bearings refer to rubber lined bearings operating with water lubrication on an elasto-hydrodynamic principle. The fluted design of the bearing utilizes basis lubrication principles to allow formation of hydrodynamic water wedges at the bearing surfaces by flow of water from the grooves.

Cutless Bearings have a wide spectrum of marine applications, which include propeller shaft bearings in stern tubes or struts, rudder bearings and cutter bearings, in a variety of craft. Besides marine applications, cutless bearings are also used in hydroelectric turbines, centrifugal pumps and other water submersible devices.

When used in propeller shaft housing, the Cutless Bearing provides a structural support with built-in resilience that allows the bearing to yield in sympathy with the bending of the boats structure and thus prevents shaft bearing misalignment or shaft wear. The bearing also reduces vibration and the volume of noise being transmitted into the boat. It also absorbs shock and has an advantage of being almost maintenance free.

The name Cutless is derived from the ability of such bearings to pass abrasive materials such as sand and marine organisms across its surface and into the flushing grooves. These abrasive particles do not embed into the bearing surface and cause little cutting and wearing of the shaft.
