Rudder Horn Bushings Supplier - Marine Propulsion

Rudder horn bushings are critical components in marine propulsion systems, providing support and reducing friction between the rudder horn and the rudder stock. They ensure smooth steering operation by allowing controlled movement while maintaining alignment. Made from durable materials, these bushings withstand harsh marine environments and heavy loads.

Size: Typically ranges from 50 mm to 300 mm in diameter, depending on vessel size.

Grade: Commonly meets ASTM B505 or equivalent marine standards.

Viscosity: Lubrication viscosity varies (ISO VG 68 to VG 150) based on operating conditions.

Buoyancy: Neutral buoyancy in water, designed to minimize drag.

Material: Bronze (C93200/C93700) or composite polymers for corrosion resistance.

Load Capacity: Rated for high radial loads (up to 50 MPa).

Operating Temperature: -20°C to +120°C.

Corrosion Resistance: Excellent against seawater and marine environments.

Installation: Press-fit or adhesive-bonded, depending on design.

Maintenance: Requires periodic greasing or oil lubrication.

Rudder Horn Bushings for Marine Propulsion may comply with maritime standards such as ISO, ASTM, or specific classification society requirements (e.g., ABS, DNV, LR). Verify with the manufacturer for exact certifications.
