VESCONITE
Rudder, Stern Tube, Windlass/Winches & Pump bearings
Vesconite is a specialized thermoplastic made from internally lubricated polymers. It has been proved since the 1960's as an exceptional plain bearing material in demanding conditions.
Vesconite has high dimensional stability and does not swell in water, in contrast to most synthetic materials that swell in water e.g. Nylon swells up to 3% in water and softens.
Vesconite is approved by most major class societies including ABS, LRS, DNV, NKK, BV, GL & CCS.
Albwardy Marine Engineering carries a comprehensive stock of Vesconite Bearings.
Vesconite is suitable for use where ever a plain bearing is required viz in Winches/windlass, Pumps, Stern tube, Rudder Stock bearings, etc.
