Caravel at the 48th Boat Show Exhibition in Genova

Caravel is going to take part as an exhibitor in the 48^th edition of the INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW in Genova (4^th –12^th October).

The exciting experience of the Boat Show began in the 1980’s when Caravel could at last be rewarded for its reliability in manufacturing bearings and chromium-plated bushes: this regular participation is for us a prize. Caravel's mechanical production started in the 1950’s and the presence to such an important exhibition is now considered as a great chance to show its bearings and the most important technical news.

Our stand will be located in the C Pavilion - Upper Floor, Stand M19.

By our stand you will find many different bearings with different dimensions and outer shells in different material.
You can also compare bearings with axial channels and bearings with involute channels (which allow a better shaft cooling and lubrication).
Our engineers can also show you the new line of aluminium bearings, which were planned and manufactured to grant a better antigalvanic function for aluminium hulls. Their prices and delivery time are certainly interesting if compared with resin.

The most important innovation of the year is the bearing PULLER-FITTER.
Designed and built by Caravel, this tools is a fantastic solution to pull out a bearing from the shaft and to fit a new one in the same position.
It is a manually operated hydraulic machine which does not require any dangerous operation such as the removal of the shaft.
It is fast and efficient and a boon to the busy boatyard.
The shaft remains in situ, the bearing can be extracted and a new bearing fitted in minutes. What can take days completed in a fraction of the time without damage to housing or shaft.
Simple and practical to operate, no bearing can resist its compelling thrust.

You can meet our experts and ask them every technical information you need and get some technical papers.
