[A] Specific Features
1. Combination of Advantages of Reinforced Plastic with Those of Elastomer
The outer shell is made of reinforced plastic formed with glass cloth (=GRP) or cotton cloth (=CRP), and the
sliding face is made of elastomer. Therefore, it is of high adhesive property, excellent corrosion resistance
and light weight.
2. Outstanding Durability and Stable Performance
Shaft load is balanced by high elasticity of rubber and increased coverage area to avoid concentrated load in
the aft end.
3. Effective Absorption of shaft vibration
With the unique features of rubber, the EVR absorbs shaft vibration and prevents premature wear down of
components.
4. Prevention of Electrolytic Corrosion on the Shaft Sleeve
Since the construction materials are non-conducting, EVR bearing cuts the corrosive electric current from
the shaft sleeve and prevents the shaft sleeve surface from getting sough.
5. Easy Handling
The handling is very easier at light weight than metal materials.
After inserted it in the stern tube, it fits to the stern tube by the imbibition of the outer shell. Therefore, it
can insert to the stern tube by clearance fit. It is not necessary to press fit, and easier.
[B] Handling
Be careful about the following, and handle it until insert to stern tube.
1. Avoid the leaving under direct rays of the sun and the high temperature. And keep it indoors so that it is not
polluted by rain and sludge.
2. Protect it with the vinyl sheet to prevent the alien substance mixture and the paint adhesion.
3. Do not adherence the solvent, the grease and the oil to the Rubber.
4. Do not give a shock during the transportation and storage.
5. Be standing as possible other than transportation.
6. Do not put the thing on the top of EVR.
7. The hue of outer shell may change with progress of the time. But, in product properties, does not have any
problem in performance.
