Replacement of marine bearings with Victo HiL bushings

In the maritime sector, several critical pieces of equipment such as marine winches, container ship hatch cover mechanisms, steam pipes, onboard machinery, and steering systems are subject to harsh conditions: partial immersion, salty air, high loads, and temperature variations.

Traditional bearings installed in these applications present recurring problems:

• accelerated corrosion
• material swelling
• excessive friction on the shaft
• complex maintenance in an embedded environment
• difficulty in dismantling during technical stops

Tassitech can install Victo HiL bearings, which are specially designed for demanding marine environments.

This solution offers:

• no corrosion in saline environments
• no swelling of the material
• low friction coefficient, protecting the shaft
• high load capacity
• homogeneous and stable material
• clean technology, without lubrication
• easy installation and removal, no gluing required

Result: significant improvement in the reliability of onboard equipment, reduction in dry dock interventions, and extended service life for critical components.
