QPM - Babbitt Propeller Line Shaft Bearing

This type bearing is a common bearing type for large shaft applications due to the cost being much less than a split roller bearing of similar size. For smaller shaft sizes this bearing is equivalent in cost to a split roller bearing. This type bearing is oil lubricated with slinger ring and can also have a water cooling system to remove unwanted heat. This bearing is self aligning and is designed to support long propeller shafts inside the vessel between the gearbox and stern tube.
