SXL BEARINGS AND SEALS

Built for Fishing, Workboats & Coastal Waterways :

TG100 Seal :

Safe Return to Port Emergency Seal :

A unique feature of the TG100 is that the emergency seal allows you to return safely to the nearest port if your primary seal is ever damaged.

TG100 Seal

Maintenance-Free Shaft Seals :

The TG100 seal is designed to operate without any need for spare parts or maintenance between vessel docking periods. The elastomeric bellows and emergency seal have an unlimited shelf life, further reducing any need for expensive overhaul kits in the future. Combining these features with the use of only silicon carbide faces for both the dynamic and stationary faces, TG100 takes the work and cost out of your vessel operations.

SXL Tailshaft Bearings :

Long Bearing Wearlife and Reliability :

Thordon SXL offers long bearing wear life that reduces maintenance costs for vessels operating up to 20% of the time in abrasive waters. Lubricants in the SXL polymer formulation reduce start-up friction and offer smoother operation at lower shaft RPM.

It absorbs more misalignment and deflection from impact than other propeller shaft bearings.

Reliable Designs For Coastal Waterways

Save Money :

Vessels that operate with SXL tail shaft bearings are more reliable – they operate longer, require less maintenance, and have fewer dry dockings. This means less money spent and more money earned!

ThorPlas-Blue
Tiller Arm Bushings

Reliable Operation :

Ensuring reliable operation of all equipment installed above the waterline is a tough issue for any ship’s crew. Originally developed to replace greased bronze bearings, ThorPlas-Blue is lifetime lubricated – lubricants in the homogeneous polymer ensure a low, stable coefficient of friction, even as the bearing wears while offering long bearing wear life with no maintenance.

High Load Capability :

ThorPlas-Blue is used to replace highly loaded greased bearings, capable of design pressure up to 6527psi (45MPa).

SXL Rudder Bearings :

Grease-Free Operation :

Thordon’s SXL offers low friction and long bearing wear life without the use of grease. There is no maintenance due to the self-lubricating properties ensuring smooth operation.

Superior Performance :

Our polymers offer the best combination of strength and stiffness with flexibility and elasticity, along with high abrasion resistance. Thordon SXL has a lower modulus of elasticity (68,817 psi or 440MPa) than other non-metallic bearings, resulting in significantly increased vibration dampening, accommodation of edge loading, and better impact resistance than other non-metallic materials.

CUSTOMER-FOCUSED TO QUICKLY MEET YOUR NEEDS :
