Propellor Shaft & Stern Tube Bearings - Blue Water

Thordon's open seawater lubricated propeller shaft bearings are replacing oil-lubricated, metal bearings in new build and conversions. The COMPAC bearing system uses seawater as the lubrication medium in place of oil.  Seawater is taken from the sea, pumped through non-metallic COMPAC propeller shaft bearings and returned to the sea.

Use of seawater lubricated bearings eliminates the aft seal, as well as the storage, sampling and disposal of oil.  Thordon currently offers an industry leading 15-year bearing wear life guarantee on COMPAC. The COMPAC shaft bearing system is currently installed on 600 vessels worldwide.

To promote early formation of a hydrodynamic film between the shaft and bearing, the lower (loaded) portion of the bearing is smooth, while the upper half of the bearing incorporates grooves for flow of the water lubricant/coolant.

Please contact our sales team for further information on Thordon products for your propeller shaft such as Thordon Coatings, Water Quality Package, shaft liners, lubricants and shaft seals.
