Marine Rudder Bearing or Carrier

Application

Marine rudder bearings or carriers are components of the rudder system that support the rudder stock and allow it to rotate smoothly. They are typically made of materials such as brass, bronze, or synthetic materials that are resistant to corrosion and wear. A general term for rudder bearing fixed on the hull to support the rudder. Marine rudder bearing is mainly divided into upper rudder bearing and lower rudder bearing.

The upper rudder bearing is the bearing used to support the rudder stock in the rudder device of the ship. It can not only ensure that the rudder stock does not fall into the water, but also help the rudder stock to rotate and play a lubricating role.

The lower rudder bearing generally only bears radial force, which is arranged at the place where the rudder stock passes through the hull outer plate. The choice of rudder bearings or carriers depends on several factors, including the size and type of vessel, operating conditions, and desired performance. Factors such as load capacity, maintenance requirements, and cost are also considered when selecting a rudder bearing or carrier.
