Type 1 self aligning rudder bearings with knuckle or needles.

Designed to be fitted to boats up to 45 feet  in length the Type 1 bearings feature a spherical Ertalyte® knuckle fitted within a precision machined aluminium housing.

 

This results in a bearing that is  SIMPLE,  LIGHT  and STRONG.

 

The spherical knuckle allows the bearing to self-align while the rudderstock rotates within the bearing.

 

Bearings can be used with both METALLIC and COMPOSITE rudderstock.

 

Bearings are available in any size for 20mm to 110mm in 10mm increments.

Knuckles can be bored any size to suit the rudderstock OD.

 

Bearings are available in 3  HOUSING STYLES  to suit all installation details : laminated, bolted, plugged, inserted to a rudder tube...

 

Aluminium bodies are anodised in our in-house anodisation plant to ensure quality and prevent corrosive action.

 

The bearing is NON- WATERTIGHT and is TO BE INSTALLED  with either a FULL RUDDER TUBE  between the upper and lower bearing or HALF RUDDER TUBE between the lower bearing + a seal carrier located partway up the rudder stock above the waterline.

 

See  below installation sketches for further details.

 

Type 1 Bearings are BUREAU VERITAS  &  CE approved.
