Damaged stern tube bearings: detection and solution
Stern tube bearing failures often occur due to misalignment, which significantly impacts their functionality. To help you understand the causes of these failures, we will outline common issues associated with stern tube bearings. Furthermore, we will present our approach to addressing and resolving stern tube bearing failures in your vessel.
HOW DO STERN TUBE BEARING FAILURES ARISE?
Stern tube bearings are fundamental for a perfectly working propulsion shafting line. However, these bearings can become worn out due to out of tolerance shaft loading, overheating by insufficient lubrication, or other factors. We'll list our most common issues to help you pinpoint the vessel's stern tube bearing problems like: Misalignment, lack of lubrication, contamination, overloading, corrosion.
