Duramax Marine

<h3>About Duramax Marine</h3><p>When it comes to propeller shaft support and marine sealing technology, few names carry more weight than <strong>Duramax Marine</strong>. Headquartered in Hiram, Ohio, this ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer has spent more than six decades engineering water-lubricated bearing systems, shaft sealing solutions, heat exchangers, and impact protection systems that keep vessels running reliably in some of the world's most demanding marine environments.</p><h3>The Johnson Cutless Bearing Legacy</h3><p>At the core of Duramax Marine's reputation is the iconic <a href="/200297-cutlass-bearings-duramax-marine-13036">Johnson Cutless bearing line</a> — widely regarded as the gold standard in marine cutlass bearings. Johnson Cutless Bearings are engineered with a proprietary formulation of extremely tough, chemical, and oil-resistant nitrile rubber polymer lining, which is then bonded to a naval brass or non-metallic shell. The design includes grooves that run the entire length of the rubber lining, allowing for maximum lubricating water flow and dissipation of frictional heat.</p><p>Johnson Cutless bearings are the only products on the market to meet all MIL-DTL-17901C Class II military specifications and carry full American Bureau of Shipping type approval, making them the bearing of choice across commercial shipping, military vessels, and recreational boats alike. In fact, more than 90% of U.S. Navy surface ships and submarines operate with Duramax water-lubricated bearing systems.</p><h3>Engineering That Goes Beyond Bearings</h3><p>Duramax Marine's expertise extends well beyond cutlass bearings. Their comprehensive <a href="/201242-bearings-seals-duramax-marine-13036">bearings and seals</a> portfolio includes stuffing boxes, modern dripless shaft seals, and stern tube systems engineered to prevent water intrusion while maintaining optimal lubrication flow. Duramax shaft seal systems are available for shafts from 3/4 inch to 6-3/4 inch diameter, and their design eliminates common problems found in competing systems — with no lip seals or packing to change, there is no maintenance.</p><p>Duramax has invested millions in R&amp;D to better understand and improve the tribological interactions of cutless bearings and other water-lubricated bearings. This commitment to materials science and precision manufacturing is why many have tried to copy the Duramax Johnson Cutless bearing, but none have the knowledge to produce the proprietary rubber formulations or quality of manufacturing.</p><h3>Trusted Across All Vessel Types</h3><p>From recreational powerboats and sailboats to commercial workboats and naval vessels, Duramax Marine products serve an extraordinarily broad range of applications. For over six decades, Duramax has been developing product solutions for maintenance issues that allow ships to run more smoothly and efficiently. Whether you're maintaining a weekend cruiser or a military-grade vessel, Duramax Marine delivers the precision engineering and proven durability that marine professionals have come to depend on.</p>

Product Details

The Johnson Cutless CALL Naval Brass Sleeve Bearing by Duramax Marine is a premium water-lubricated propeller shaft bearing designed for marine propulsion systems. This brass shell bearing fits 2" shaft diameter with an outside diameter of 2-5/8" and a length of 8", making it ideal for medium-sized inboard powerboats and sailboats.

Key Features:

  • Specially formulated oil and chemical resistant nitrile rubber securely bonded to the shell
  • Seamless naval brass shell construction for superior durability and corrosion resistance
  • Precision fitted to designated shaft size with correct clearance for efficient water lubrication
  • Grooves run the entire length of rubber lining allowing maximum lubricating water flow and heat dissipation
  • Meets military specification MIL-DTL-17901C (SH) Class II Full-Molded type
  • Full type approval from The American Bureau of Shipping
  • Made in the USA by Duramax Marine, the world's largest supplier of marine bearings

Specifications:

  • Shaft Diameter: 2 inches
  • Outside Diameter: 2-5/8 inches
  • Length: 8 inches
  • Metal Thickness: 1/8 inch
  • Shell Material: Naval Brass
  • Liner Material: Nitrile Rubber

Applications:

Johnson Cutless Bearings adapt perfectly to both strut and stern tube mounts, and are often used as rudder-stock and pintle bushings. The water-lubricated design eliminates the need for grease, making it environmentally friendly while providing reliable, low-friction operation. These bearings are essential for supporting the propeller shaft while allowing smooth rotation to transmit power from the engine to the propeller.

The inside diameter is bored to the correct dimension first, then the outside diameter is machined to specifications, resulting in superior bearing concentricity that reduces vibration and extends bearing life. Every bearing is tested using plug gages, then visually inspected and approved before shipping.
