Thordon SXL non-lubricated bearings offer a low coefficient of friction allowing total freedom from grease for all rudder bearing applications above and below the waterline.

 

Benefits for the shipowner:

  • Highest life guarantee on the market: twice the life of the replaced bearings (maximum 10 years), or 15 years for new constructions
  • Water or dry lubrication eliminates greasing
  • Ability to withstand shock load and vibration

Thordon complements its bearing devices with the supply of two other exclusive Thordon products:

  • Thorseal Seals
  • ThorPlas-Blue self-lubricating thermoplastic for the entire rudder control linkage
