One of the other products of Amartech are the Easy Turn Waterlubricated Rubberbearings. According to the manufacturer this is the proven choice of marine bearing for reducing noise and vibration and giving a long, pollution free of duty life. EasyTurn Rubberbearings have a smooth surface with the perfect round edges for maximum hydrodynamic performance. The exclusive EasyTurn water ‘wedge’ fi lm, that comes into existence when the shaft starts to rotate, is of unusual importance. The effi ciency of the EasyTurn Rubberbearing water ‘wedge’ design is substantiated by laboratory test results as well as on outstanding fi eld service life. EasyTurn Rubberbearings have the lowest coeffi cient of friction of any commercially available water lubricated bearing.The EasyTurn rubberbearing has several advantages such as: perfect fl ute contours, hydrodynamic water wedge, forming a perfect water ‘wedge’ fi lm, absorbing vibration, reducing noise, low friction coeffi cient, excellent wear resistance, longer lifetime and environment-friendly.
