Johnson Cutless Naval Brass Bearing
Water-Lubricated Standard Rubber Sleeve Bearing
Johnson Cutless rubber-lined Naval Brass Rubber Sleeve Bearings adapt equally well to strut and stern-tube mounts, and they are often used effectively as rudder stock and pintle bushings. Bearing diameters are precision fitted to the designated shaft size with the correct clearance for efficient water lubrication. External brass shells are machined and polished to provide easy fitting. Specially formulated oil and chemical-resistant nitrile rubber is securely bonded to the shell. Units with thin shells are available for the struts of small craft. Sleeve bearings are usually installed by light press-fitting and then locked in place with cone-pointed set screws.
