Caravel has just started the manufacturing of a new type of hydrolubricated bearing with the outer shell made of aluminium.
These bearings have been designed and manufactured for aluminium boats (sailboats and vessels in aluminium): all the dimensions which are included in Caravel's price list are always available in our stock and ready for shipment. A more interesting price (if compared with resin) and shorter delivery time, even for bearings not immediately available in our stock, are the most important points to consider.
The outer shell is made of anticorodal 6060 (UNI 3569 AL Mg Si): it has a good resistance to corrosion, very good mechanical properties and is particularly fit for anodizing processes and for marine applications (you can find here more detailed information: http://www.migliarialluminio.it/Migliari/6060.htm.
The anodizing of the outer shell of each bearing reaches a depth of 10 micron and during internal tests and quality controls these hydrolubricated bearings have revealed an excellent mechanical and chemical behaviour.
The resistance of the chemical attack between aluminium and rubber has been carefully tested according to all the required controls which an ISO 9001 certified company has to fulfil.
The aluminium and rubber hydrolubricated bearings have been already mounted on vessels and big aluminium boats, with great satisfaction for our customers.
This product is the final point of years of tests to find new materials for marine applications with a good quality and an interesting price.
