Wärtsilä is a global leader in marine technology and lifecycle solutions, providing a full range of products for vessels of all types and sizes. Their stern tube bearings and seals are essential components of the propulsion shaft line. The stern tube seals prevent water ingress into the vessel and oil leakage into the sea, while the bearings support the propeller shaft, ensuring smooth and reliable operation. Wärtsilä’s solutions are engineered for durability and environmental compliance in the harsh marine environment.
Wärtsilä Stern Tube Bearings and Seals Applications and Features
Wärtsilä’s portfolio includes a variety of solutions designed to meet the specific needs of different vessels and applications:
- Wärtsilä Sternsafe Bearings: These are a range of oil-lubricated bearings available in both white metal and composite materials. They are designed for high load requirements and offer excellent performance and reliability.
- Wärtsilä Envirosafe Composite Bearings: A line of water-lubricated composite bearings that provide an environmentally friendly solution. They are known for their long life and superior performance in abrasive or “brown water” applications.
- Wärtsilä Sternguard Seals: This is a comprehensive range of stern tube seals, including both oil and water-lubricated solutions. Key features of these seals include:

- Split Seals: Many of Wärtsilä’s seals are available in a fully split design, allowing for in-situ maintenance and replacement without the need to remove the propeller shaft or drydock the vessel, which significantly reduces downtime and cost.
- Robust Materials: The seals and liners are made from high-quality materials, such as Viton® rubber and high nickel-chromium steel, to resist wear and corrosion.
- Integrated Solutions: Wärtsilä offers complete stern tube packages that include the tube, bearings, and seals in a single, ready-to-install unit, simplifying the installation and ensuring seamless component compatibility.
