Simsite Guide Sleeve Bearings

The only True Corrosion Resistant Rudder and Stern Tube Bearings
Simsite Guide Bearings Lead the Way!
  • Self-lubricating to prevent seizing and galling
  • A composite, which is resistant to corrosion & erosion, and does not support electrolysis
  • Able to take drystarts
  • Able to withstand high continuous running temperatures, and be able to withstand very high flash temperatures
  • Be able to accommodate precision machining for setting tighter clearances and better shaft alignment
  • Have a highly polished surface to resist wear of the shaft and on the bearing itself
  • Have excellent mechanical strength to withstand high loading and torque
SIMSITE® Composite Guide Bearings and Bushings
  • Corrosion & Erosion resistant!
  • Do Not support Electrolysis!
  • Excellent Wear Resistance!
  • Can take Dry-Starts, because of the self-lubricating properties of the graphite!
  • Have Superior Mechanical Strength, because they are machined from a solid blocks of structural composite, which enables the bearings to Handle Higher Loads and Last Much Longer.
  • Can be lubricated by the liquid that is being pumped.
  • Good Chemical Compatibility.
