MARINE BEARINGS Clements Engineering supplies a wide range of sterntube arrangements according to customer preference, hull design and engine performance and type. Generally, optimising cost and maintainability with durability and longevity of product life, the sterntube can be constructed using GRP, bronze or fabricated steel. The shaft sealing arrangement can be a dripless water cooled StrongSeal assembly, or a conventional bronze housing and packed gland. Clements Engineering recommend half cutless bearing and dripless, water cooled strong seal assembly suitable for high performance leisure and medium duty commercial craft up to 35m LOA. Tube Materials Clements Engineering offers a range of materials for sterntube manufacture. These are as follows: Polyester resin GRP tube Non-ferrous metal rube Cast non-ferrous LG2 gunmetal tube Carbon steel tube Polyester GRP Multiple windings of chopped strand glass reinforcement with polyester resin, post cured to full hardness. Cured tubes are turned to required exact diameter then given a rolled coat of resin to fully seal. Internal tube and tube ends are gel coated. Machined to suit the type of shaft seal or packed gland to be installed. Manufactured with sufficient accuracy for cutless bearings to be fitted without further machining of the tube. Supplied in a wide range of sizes and lengths to suit individual customer requirements. The StrongSeal dripless self aligning seal assembly with its integral cast bronze hull fitting and cutless bearing housing.
