Plastics for the Marine, Ships & Boats
Solutions in Plastic In Engineering is a leading plastic fabrication and machining provider for the boat, ship, and marine industries. We specialise in manufacturing rudder and stern shaft bearings, catering to various vessels.
Our expertise lies in producing high-quality bearings tailored to different marine applications’ requirements. Bearings can be manufactured in various configurations, including straight, flanged (top hat), and spherical self-aligning designs. These options ensure a precise fit and optimal performance for different vessel types and operating conditions.
One of the notable advantages of engineering thermoplastic bearings is their ability to operate lubrication and maintenance-free. This feature eliminates the need for regular maintenance, unlike bronze, rubber, and rolling element bearings, which require periodic attention. Additionally, plastic bearings do not suffer from corrosion, providing long-lasting durability and reliability compared to rolling-element ball bearings.
Our team of experienced engineers is available to provide guidance and expertise in material selection to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the bearings. They can recommend a suitable material to prevent swelling and maximise the wear life of the bearings. Moreover, they can advise on the appropriate design aspects, such as fits and clearances, to ensure proper functionality and minimise misalignment or excessive play issues.
By partnering with Solutions in Plastic & Engineering, you can rely on our commitment to delivering high-quality plastic bearings that meet the specific needs of the marine industry. Our dedication to superior craftsmanship and expert advice from our engineers ensure you receive reliable and efficient solutions for your boat, ship, or marine applications.
