WATERCRAFT INDUSTRY
The high seas are one of the greatest challenges for materials. The rough weather and the sea water cause high wear and tear on components that are installed in boats, yachts and ships.
Technical components made from our plastics can withstand high mechanical loads and are low-wear. At the same time, they are resistant to different weather conditions and sea water. Equipped with their own UV protection, our plastics can withstand even the strongest solar radiation. Premature material fatigue due to corrosion does not occur with plastic parts. You can rely on components made from our plastics in wind and weather.
The durability and stability of our SCHVE plastics play an important role in shipbuilding when it comes to safe operating standards. SCHVE plastic products not only have better corrosion properties, they are also more environmentally friendly than metals. Thanks to their robust composition, our plastics withstand extreme conditions, friction and wear. Our plastics are more environmentally friendly and even reduce maintenance costs.
Slewing Rings for Steering Mechanisms
-
Bushings made of SCHVE 307 ensure smooth operation and extended service life due to their high resistance to abrasive particles and ability to withstand heavy mechanical loads.
Rudder Stock Seal Assemblies
-
Rudder stock lip seals require no lubrication. They are designed to prevent water ingress into the hull while providing reliable sealing and wear resistance.
Large-diameter segmented sleeve bearings
-
Resistant to corrosion
-
Sliding surface protects ropes from excessive wear
-
Withstands high tensile loads
SCHVE 307
Rudder stock support bearing
-
The key advantage of SCHVE 307 is its low friction coefficient, enabling operation without lubrication.
Support and sliding bushing for hatch covers
-
Support and sliding bushings replace ball, roller, and other metal bearings.
Advantages: Capable of dry operation, resulting in reduced costs and lower environmental impact.
Stern Tube Plain Bearings
-
Withstands high rotational speeds
-
Very good sliding properties
-
