Features and benefits
- Both standard and bespoke designs are available
depending on the application.
- Pedestal or wing-mounting options are available.
- Special end seals can be fitted, both to prevent
oil leakage and allow continued operation under flooded
compartment conditions.
- Bearing can be designed with whitemetal bush or
tilting pads.
Michell propeller shaft bearings are commonly designed
to be self-contained, with cooling by natural air or
by water (using a high efficiency heat exchanger immersed
in the oil sump).
