High-Performance Rudder Bushings for Marine Applications
When it comes to ensuring smooth, reliable, and durable operation
of your vessel's steering system, our water-lubricated
self-lubricating rudder bushings are the perfect choice. Engineered
for superior performance, these bushings are designed to meet the
highest standards of marine safety and efficiency.
Why Choose Our Rudder Bushings?
- Premium Materials for Durability: Our rudder bushings are crafted from high-quality self-lubricating
composite materials, ensuring exceptional resistance to wear,
corrosion, and marine environmental factors. They are tailored to
withstand extreme conditions, delivering long-term reliability.
- Customizable to Your Needs: We offer fully customizable solutions to match your vessel's
specifications. Whether you need specific sizes, materials, or
configurations, our engineering team will deliver bushings that fit
perfectly with your rudder system.
- Eco-Friendly and Maintenance-Free: The water-lubricated design eliminates the need for oil or grease,
reducing environmental impact and maintenance costs. This ensures
clean, efficient operation over the product’s lifecycle.

Common Guide Bearing Materials
| Bearing type | INDRON bearing | AR bearing | Ceramic bearing | Rubber bearing | Babbitt alloy bearing |
| Characteristics | The performance is close thordon, which can use more equipment
assembly methods. In addition to traditional installations by
freezing and pressurizing. It can also be installed by coating
reactive thermal polymerization Dx and cold sticking. | Good wear resistance and impact resistance. The bearing hardness is
high; the shaft sleeve is easy to wear; the temperature difference
changes greatly; there will be the risk of shelling; the price is
high. | Wear-resistant, heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, lubricated by
pump circulating water, capable of dry grinding for a short time,
high requirement on accuracy in processing and assembly, fragile
and the most expensive. | It has a long history and mature manufacturing process, featured by
wear resistance, anti-seismic, impact resistance, convenient
assembly/disassembly and low price (only 20% of ceramic bearings
price) | Wear resistance and impact resistance require a set of more
complicated sealing and lubricating devices and mechanisms. |
| Lubricating requirements | Clean water can be used for lubrication or 150s dry start according
to the material grades. | Dry start more than 180S without clean water lubrication. | It can be lubricated by pumping medium without special clean water
lubrication. | Clean industrial water | Grease lubrication requires a grease supply lubrication system. |
| Working temperature | ≤70°C | ≥273°C | The bearing itself can withstand the temperature of 1,400°C | ≤50°C | ≤65°C Short time up to 80°C |
| Application site | For pumping stations short of clean water or pumping stations
requiring short-term dry friction, hRBR grade is suitable for water
quality with moderate sediment content. | Pumping stations without clean water or pumping stations requiring
dry friction of more than 180S. | Pumping stations without clean water or pumping stations requiring
short-term dry friction. | Extensive application in any pumping stations with clean water
sources. | The liquid of the pump itself cannot be used for bearing
lubrication in the pumping station. |
| Bearing type | INDRON bearing | AR bearing | Ceramic bearing | Rubber bearing | Babbitt alloy bearing |

Installation and Maintenance Tips
To ensure optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your
rudder bushings:
- Proper Installation: Follow precise alignment and clearance
recommendations during installation to avoid premature wear.
- Regular Inspections: Check for signs of wear, debris buildup, or
abnormal noise during routine vessel maintenance.
- Replace as Needed: Replace bushings promptly if wear exceeds
recommended tolerances to prevent further damage to the rudder
system.
We provide a detailed installation and maintenance guide to support
your team in achieving maximum efficiency with our products.
