Palmer relies on 640 mm (25") Thor-Lube stem tube bearings for pollution free reliability. The ship is also equipped with Thordon rudder and thruster bearing systems. Today's environmental challenges and government regulation demand a move from traditional oil lubricated stern tube systems to pollution-free alternatives. The Thor-Lube bearing system combines proven Thordon XL bearings with Thor-Lube; a water soluble, environmentally friendly lubricant to deliver pollution-free performance. Wear life is comparable to conventional oil-lubricated systems and the system is considered equivalent to oil-lubricated by most Classification Societies. Higher operating efficiencies can be expected with the Thor-Lube system. Operating friction is lower, particularly at start-up and higher shaft speeds. Similar in size to oil-lubricated bearings, Thor-Lube bearings can be as easily integrated into conversion projects as new build. For pollution-free reliability in your k marine bearing application contact I Thordon Bearings Inc. or your local V Thordon distributor (located in over 55 countries around the world).
