Orkot Marine Bearings

Orkot Marine Bearings have extensive experience of supplying rudder and stern tube bearings to the demanding shipbuilding and repair markets. Orkot Marine Bearings are world leading manufacturers and suppliers of bearings and materials to the shipping and general marine industries for over 25 years. We offer two specialist materials to this market, TLM Marine and TXM Marine. Orkot TLM Marine is an advanced, reinforced polymer material incorporating solid lubricants. The material has exceptional wear resistance and virtually no swell in water, providing dimensional stability. Orkot TLM Marine tolerates edge loading and misalignment even with the heaviest loads. Orkot TXM Marine is a development of our TLM Marine material using a unique manufacturing process that provides a high concentration of PTFE in the sliding area whilst maintaining high compressive strength. An added benefit is that the PTFE layer is several millimetres thick, thus making it tolerant to wear so that it keeps its low friction properties throughout the service life of the bearing.
