Do not require metal backing- eliminate dovetailed housing Johnson's Rubber Stave Bearings feature a "dual durometer" rubber which is chemically formulated to provide a soft bearing surface with hard backing which replaces the solid bronze shell or metal stave backing required with con- ventional bearings. The demountable solid rubber design eliminates costly machine work to make dovetailed housings required to install many conventional bearings. Rubber staves are securely locked in the housing by a compressive force with a resultant controlled precision fit of the rubber staves around the shaft. For vessels operating in contaminated water conditions, journal and bearing life can be greatly increased when using the demountable rubber staves in a sealed controlled water lubricating system. Open or sealed systems designed for shaft sizes from 3 to 48 inches. nson Write today for literature describing these and many other advantages.
