Exalto Cutlass Brass shell 70x90x280mm rubber lined bearing (ID x OD x L)

Cutlass Bearings
In marine applications, cutlass bearings are generally installed in a housing with a light press fit and held in place by either Loctite or cone point set screws. Often a second setscrew is installed on top of the first to lock the first setscrew in place. The bearing shell is spotted to receive the setscrews in such a manner as to prevent them from extending through the shell into the rubber and thus forcing the rubber against the shaft. This permits the setscrew to prevent movement of the bearing without requiring the screw to be so tight that distortion of the bearing could occur.
