TG100 Thordon Tailshaft Seal

J​acmor Engineering – Authorized Suppliers of Thordon Marine Bearings now offer High performance Stern Tube Seals for water lubricated systems.
 
Manufactured to the same exacting standards as our high performing range of Thordon Bearings, the TG100 seals use the highest quality, hard wearing silicon carbide faces and our proprietary elastomeric polymers to offer the best combination of strength/stiffness and flexibility/elasticity.

A key feature is the emergency seal which is like none other currently available as it allows stand-alone operation. This not only gets you home safely but the seal is not damaged in the process. 
TG100 Propeller Shaft Seal:
  • Unlimited shelf life on elastomeric bellows
  • Unique emergency seal allows stand-alone operation to get you back to port without damaging the seal
  • Elastomeric bellows accept axial/radial shaft movement and compensate for alignment issues
  • Manufactured for long wear life and reduced maintenance costs
  • Wedge "lock" design ensures the rotary face is perfectly square with the shaft
  • Hydraulically balanced to accommodate various drafts
  • Single supplier for bearings and seals

​The TG100 Shaft Seals are manufactured to last and are designed for use in newbuild construction and retrofits.

JACMOR INSTALLED THORDON CUTTERHEAD DREDGE BEARING
Jacmor Engineering was recently awarded the prestigious project of installing a THORDON Cutter head Dredge Bearing. The removal of the existing bearing and installation of new bearing were completed whilst the Ø700 mm shaft was still in place.  To overcome the challenges associated with installation THORDON’s unique key design was used enabling the bearing to be installed in split form. By installing the bearing with the shaft still in place Jacmor were able to save the customer considerable downtime. Attach snaps relevant information.

For more information on the use of THORDON Composite Grade bearings in Dredge and Cutterhead applications please contact Jacmor or visit the Thordon Canada Website.

THORDON PUMP BEARINGS SAVE OPERATING COSTS FOR INTERNATIONAL MINING COMPANY
Jacmor understand that shut down time is critical recently a Multinational Mining Company had urgent requirement for two fully finished Pump Bearings to suit their shutdown schedules. Current bearings were rubber  and not suitable for the abrasive working conditions, the client had previous success with THORDON SXL at another site and when the opportunity arose Jacmor were able to deliver fully machined THORDON SXL within 2 working days.

THORDON's excellent wear and impact resistant properties are ideal for harsh environments and the long life results in reduced downtime. Jacmor Engineering can recommend the right Thordon Grade to suit your operating conditions.


THORDON THE CHOSEN ONE FOR PUMPING APPLICATIONS
Recently one of Australia leading Pump Manufacturers wanted to replace their existing worn out rubber bearing with a suitable Bearing material that would operate under tough abrasive conditions.THORDON SXL was the preferred choice as its has excellent wear resistant properties and can withstand high shock loads.

Time was a critical and the fact that Thordon is easy to install and does not damage the shaft, resulted in a quick turnaround time. The Client sent across the old worn out housing and Jacmor's Service Technicians measured and machined out a brand new THORDON SXL bearing to replace the existing rubber bearing. The whole project was completed within a short period of 48 hours.

THORDON THE CHOSEN ONE FOR AUSTRALIAN WAVE & TIDAL ENERGY PROJECT
