Stave Shaped Bearing Stave

Stave-shaped bearings, also known as stave bearings or stave segments, are a type of bearing used in ship and boat propulsion components. They belong to the supply class Ship And Boat Propulsion Components, which is part of the supply group Ship And Marine Equipment.

Stave-shaped bearings are designed to support rotating shafts in marine propulsion systems. They are typically used in applications where high loads and vibrations are present, such as in ship engines and propeller shafts.

These bearings consist of multiple stave segments that are arranged in a circular or semi-circular shape. Each stave segment is made of a durable material, such as bronze or white metal, and is designed to fit tightly against the rotating shaft. The stave segments are held together by a retaining ring or other fastening mechanism.

The stave-shaped design of these bearings allows for better load distribution and improved lubrication compared to other types of bearings. This helps to reduce friction and wear, resulting in smoother operation and longer bearing life.

In addition to their use in ship and boat propulsion components, stave-shaped bearings can also be found in other marine equipment, such as rudder systems and thrusters.

Overall, stave-shaped bearings play a crucial role in ensuring the reliable and efficient operation of ship and boat propulsion systems, making them an important component in the Ship And Marine Equipment supply group.
