Tenmat Bearings Used On 'Queen of Scandinavia' When the 25,940-ton Danish car ferry "Queen of Scandinavia" ar- rived at the Howald Deutche Werft yard in Kiel, Germany, for her an- nual overhaul, the vessel's gyro fin stabilizer flap mechanism was badly worn. The reported cause: exces- sive wear from the composite bear- ings used on the flap shafts, actua- tor shafts and actuator pin shafts. The yard's solution was to install Tenmat Feroform T12 composite bearings. The "Queen of Scandinavia" was refitted with Tenmat Feroform T12 composite bearings. The Feroform T12 is a bearing grade material containing molybde- num disulphide for low "stick/slip" qualities. Feroform is approved for submerged running in the Royal Navy (U.K.) and other navies throughout the world. Tenmat Ltd. of Manchester, U.K., offers a comprehensive computer- ized design facility and a 24 hour manufacturing service delivering both large and small diameter bear- ings for emergency repair work situ- ations.
