Morse Rubber Marine Bearings

Rubber is an extremely versatile material whose compound can be formulated depending on the application. The marine industry without rubber is just impossible to imagine, and so-called cutless, or cutlass bearings also use rubber to seal the propeller shaft. Their outer shell is made of naval brass or composite material, while the inner bushing is manufactured from specially formulated nitrile rubber which is famous for its resistance to oil and chemicals. Morse Rubber is one of the companies manufacturing such bearings along with different kinds of rubber fenders and other products used for industrial purposes.

Morse bearings are available in numerous diameters and lengths allowing you to choose the right product for your boat. There are standard brass sleeve series, flanged series, forward stern tube series, along with some other lineups that feature a non-metallic sleeve for extra corrosion resistance. Inside, the shell is bonded to a fluted rubber liner which is lubricated by surrounding water and helps to dampen noise and vibration. There is no need for oil or additional seals, yet the liner perfectly withstands abrasion and particles floating in the water. Actually, the bearing's construction contributes to flushing these particles away thus preventing the shaft's scoring. A wide range of Morse Rubber bearings and other products are available in our online store.
