SHIP SHAFT BEARINGS – TESTED AND CERTIFIED
Before delivery, we put each of the ship shaft bearings we manufacture to the test. Whether the bearing was manufactured completely in-house or a part provided by the customer was rubberised, we test all relevant parameters such as concentricity and dimensions. On request, the bearing can then be approved by Germanischer Lloyd – for quality you can rely on.
