801 Series

The 801 series of rudder bearings are built by using anodized aluminum 3571. These bearings are self-aligning with an inner spherical ertalyte ball and are designed for an easy installation on the deck and to absorb the bending stress of the rudder shaft under load.

This kind of rudder bearing is available in the two versions – for deck 801P with locking flange and for the hull 801S. The outside shape of the lower bearing 801S series is conical to give a better and practical installation from the outer side of the hull.

We produce also the 811S series with an inner self-aligning ertalyte ball and aluminium bushing sliding on peek rollers (suitable for aluminium or carbon fibre rudder shafts) and the 891S series with the same features and inner stainless steel bushing sliding on stainless steel rollers (suitable for stainless steel rudder shafts).

The 801 series is suitable for rudder shafts with diameters from mm 40 up to mm 160. The watertight system (Solimar security system) on rudder bearings 801L, 811L, 891L series is made with a self-supporting neoprene tube (height on demand) locked by stainless steel clamps. A ring with gasket is locked on the top of the tube by using stainless steel clamps.
