Environmentally friendly bearing solutions 

Eco Bearings is a bearing manufacturer with focus on solution engineering and client collaboration. ​Engineering and scope og supply ranging from single parts deliveries to full mechanical assemblies with lubrication and monitoring. Inhouse material test facilities for quality assurance and client test programmes.

Our offerings
products
Eco Bearings materials can be used in a vast array of applications.

Low cost, good wear resistance and dry running capabilites make these materials a good fit for sliding bearing applications.
Materials holding marine type approval for stern tube and rudder are available. ​
rudder bearings
Eco Bearings supplies type approved bearings for all types of rudders.
Typical applications:
  • Stock
  • Pintle
  • Neck
  • Heel

Bearing properties include:
  • Type approval for surface pressures up to 10 MPa
  • Low friction
  • Very good dry running capability
  • Operates above and below waterline
  • Self lubricating
  • Low wear

propeller shaft  bearings and lubrication systems
Eco Bearings supplies several types of bearing designs and materials for stern shaft applications.

Composite bearing material is a good allround bearing that offers low friction and good wear resistance.

Elastomeric bearing materials are more ductile and therefore very resistant to wear in environments with high concentrations of solids in the water, such as shallow water, rivers and lakes.

The bearings may be supplied as standalone items for installation into the stern tube or strut, or preinstalled into carriers.

Stern shaft water lubricated bearing system:

Eco bearings has developed a complete bearing lubrication and monitoring system that complies with class requirements for a condition based maintenance  notations. The system is comprised of:
  • Bearings
  • Water Filtration Unit
  • Bearing weardown sensor
  • Bearing temperature sensor
  • Control system for water pump control and sensor alarm handling

The system is highly configurable and can be customized for most situations.

dredger bearings
Dredging operations require tough and wear resistant bearings to support the equipment in use. Eco Bearings is a unique supplier for dredger operators and newbuild yards, since our product portfolio includes both composite and elastomeric materials. The bearings are today in use on many dredgers, and ensures operational uptime in harsh working conditions.

HATCH COVER PADS
Hatch cover pads are an important component that, together with the seal, ensure a water-tight hatch cover. Many operators are required to do frequent pad replacements due to high wear rate of commonly used pad materials.  

Eco Bearings' Hatch cover pads offer an alternative, and are a proven cost effective pad with low wear rate and long service life. ​
