ThorPlas
ThorPlas can be a direct replacement for greased bronze where the end user's desire is to elimanate grease. Thorplas can also offer better wear life. Applications include: Fairlead roller bushings, lifeboat davit bushings, and steering linkage bushings.






  
XL Grade
XL is the standard grade for marine propeller shaft bearing applications. These bearings are available in a wide range of sizes in both grooved and un-grooved configurations.






  
Compac
Thordon Compac Water Lubricated Elastomeric Bearings feature special lubricants to provide a low coefficient of friction. This coupled with a unique water groove design (grooves in the top half only), help reduce start-up friction and eliminates stick-slip. Compac Bearings are designed to have a 2:1 L/D ratio and are approved by all major Classification Societies. The Compac Water Lubricated Propeller Shaft Bearing System utilizes Compac Bearings, bearing carriers, Thordon water quality package, Thordon shaft coating (ThorCoat), and Thordon approved shaft liners. This system offers a ten year Compac wear life guarantee.
