It’s a fact! Workboats that operate with RiverTough tailshaft bearings are more reliable – they operate longer, require less maintenance and have fewer drydockings. This means less money spent and more money earned! RiverTough bearings run in combination with hard coated nickel-chrome-boron (NiCrB) Thordon shaft sleeves routinely outlast rubber bearings by a factor of two or more in even the most abrasive operating water conditions. RiverTough offers increased resilience compared to rubber bearings offering easier alignment and less edge loading (installation at 3:1 vs. 4:1 L/D ratio).
And our TG100 seals? Not only has the Safe Return to Port emergency seal saved vessels from sinking, but the TG100 seal requires little periodic maintenance and require no parts within a 5-year drydock interval. Manufactured to the same exacting standards as our high performing range of Thordon bearings, the TG100 seals use the highest quality, hard wearing silicon carbide faces and our proprietary elastomeric polymers to offer the best combination of strength/stiffness and flexibility/elasticity.
Thordon Bearings has over 25 years’ experience working with workboats, pushboats and tugs operating in dirty abrasive-laden water. With large stock availability through our warehouses and network of distributors we offer fast delivery which will keep your boat in the water, earning revenue!
