4.6. If goods have to be stored for long periods, they should be kept in their original
packing, stored flat and unobstructed (i.e. nothing stored or stacked on top on the
bearing) in a dry, cool and dark environment.

Storage should be indoors where the temperature will not exceed 30º centigrade and
the humidity shall be less than 65%.

4.7. Care must be taken during handling to prevent any mechanical damage occurring
due to dropping, crushing etc. Particular care and attention should be paid to the
white metal surfaces of the bearings.

4.8. In the case of long term storage (over 5 months), stand the bearing vertically and
cover to protect from dust, dirt etc.

TM-STB (ISSUE C) Page 7 of 25

 4.9. Where storage is over 1 year, periodic inspections should be carried out as below:

● Periodical inspection check.

Carry out the below inspection during storage term.

Interval Checking items Procedure

Every Condition on housing Confirm no rust on the housing and bearing after
year and bearing surface disassembling.
(Rust). If rust is found, remove it by using an oilstone.

always follow the maker’s recommendation.

TM-STB (ISSUE C) Page 8 of 25

5. PREPARATION
5.1. Preparation of the Sterntube will depend upon whether the bearing is being mounted
by the conventional press in method, or, if it is being “chockfasted” in place.
Before fitting the bearing, thoroughly remove all traces of the anti-rust oil using a
suitable solvent cleaner/remover. Ensure that the bearing is perfectly clean before
fitting it.

5.2. For Press Fit Bearings

5.2.1. Machine the inside diameter of the sterntube to the nominal diameter, as
stated on the drawing.
5.2.2. Measure the exact inside diameter of the sterntube which can be determined
by the average of 4 measurements to be equally divided over the
circumference (4x45°) in one cross-section. Take at least 2 cross-sections
with a distance, at most, of 250 mm.
5.2.3. Machine the outside diameter of the sterntube bearings to the measured
inside diameter of the sterntube + 0,0001 x D (D = outside diameter of the
sterntube bearing), with a tolerance of ± 0.005 mm for press-in fitting.
5.2.4. The inside diameter of the sterntube as well as the outside diameter of the
bearing has to be in compliance with the following:
(A) roundness: to be within 0.02 mm
(B) mutual eccentricity of steps in diameter: to be within 0,01 mm.
(C) surface roughness (Ra): to be within 1,6 µm.
5.2.5. The temperature of the sterntube and the corresponding sterntube bearing
has to be equal or almost equal by measuring and machining.
5.2.6. Machine the oil grooves and holes.

TM-STB (ISSUE C) Page 9 of 25

 5.3. For Chockfast Bearings.

5.3.1. Machine the bore in the stern frame/tube about 25 to 30 mm larger than the
sleeve o.d. (c.12 to 15 mm gap all round the sleeve when fitted).
A resin thickness of 12 mm minimum is recommended. The actual
installation may have a larger gap (thickness of resin).

5.3.2. In many cases, the sleeve will be provided with centralising/jacking holes
pre-machined into its forward and aft end. Normally 4 off through tapped
holes in the sleeve, clear of the bearing and at 45º off centres.
Where the holes are in the sleeve, centralising/jacking bolts/screws will be
provided that are fitted from the inside of the sleeve.

5.3.3. Where the sleeve is not provided with jacking/centralising positions, drill and
tap 4 holes through the forward and aft end of the sterntube/sternframe.
These holes must be positioned so that when bolts/screws are entered from
the outside, they will act on the ends of the sleeve to support it and allow it to
be centralised.
5.3.4. Locate and drill/machine filling and venting holes for the Chockfast etc. as
recommended by the resin supplier.
Note: It is conventional to use large holes (c. 1½ inch/38 mm) for filling and
venting.
: Normally filling holes are at the bottom, vents must be at top
dead centre. If filling holes at the bottom are impossible to
provide, then top filling is acceptable.
: Conventionally the Aft bearing filling hole is towards the Aft end
of the sterntube/sternframe (at the bottom) with the vent
towards the forward end (at the top). The forward bearing
filling hole is normally towards the forward end (at the bottom)
with the vent towards the aft end (at the top).

TM-STB (ISSUE C) Page 10 of 25

6. HEAD TANK LOCATION
6.1. For oil lubricated systems, the head tank must be positioned at a height determined
by the seal system.

6.2. In a conventional system, the main lubrication header tank is positioned at such a
height above the full load water line as to obtain a minimum differential pressure on
the outboard seal of 0.3 bar.

6.3. However, in certain low-pressure non-polluting sealing systems the header tank may
be positioned so as to produce this level of differential across the oil sealing rings,
but the tank itself will be below the load water line.

TM-STB (ISSUE C) Page 11 of 25

7. INSTALLATION
(Refer to relevant Drawing(s) – see attachments – Section 13).

As referenced in Section 5 (Preparation), Installation of the Sterntube bearing may be

by one of two methods as described below - after complying with the relevant
preparation requirements:

7.1. Press Fitting of Sterntube bearings.

To fit the sterntube bearings in the sterntube, they have to be pressed-in the
sterntube. The recommended mounting procedure is as follows:

7.1.1. Press-in the sterntube bearings. Before pressing-in, the friction surfaces may
be lubricated with e.g. white led or molybdenum disulphate (molykote).
Before applying lubricant, clean the surfaces thoroughly.
7.1.2. Check the alignment of the (sterntube) bearings:
7.1.3. Measure the deflections of the centre line of the (sterntube) bearings to the
centre line of the (propeller) shaft.
7.1.4. Calculate the bearing loads. The maximum allowable specific bearing load
of the sterntube bearings is 80 N/cm².
7.1.5. Prevent rotation of the sterntube bearings by locking screws. This is not
necessary, but it is required by most classification societies.

TM-STB (ISSUE C) Page 12 of 25

 7.2. Chockfast Fitting of Sterntube bearings
It has become popular to mount the sterntube in Chockfast resin (or any other two-
component resin filler).

To do this, the sterntube bearing(s) have first to be fitted into a steel tube or sleeve
because of the oil holes and slots in the sterntube bearing.

The bearing(s) must be pressed into the sleeve and locked. It is normal to use the
locking screws and locking screw positions referenced in the earlier “Press Fitting”
section 7.1.5.

Be aware that Chockfast etc. is a very good insulator of heat which may cause
problems in high seawater operating temperatures.

IMPORTANT: Please read all of this section including the “Important notes” at the
end, before proceeding with the installation.

7.2.1. Slide the sleeved bearing into the tube and align it using the
jacking/alignment bolts/screws.
7.2.2. Insert dams of polyurethane foam (open cell damming foam) glued in place
at both open ends of the sleeve to contain the chocking material when it is
pumped in – until it hardens.
7.2.3. Once the resin has set, cut off any external jacking/alignment bolts and seal
the threads by welding over the ends. Internal jacking/alignment bolts may
remain in position, if they do not interfere with anything else. If they do, cut
and weld them as for external bolts.
Do not attempt to undo and remove the jacking bolts.
7.2.4. Remove the open call damming foam and fill any voids visible at the open
ends or at the filling/venting positions with the chocking manufacturers
recommended repair material.
7.2.5. The sleeve is now bonded into the sterntube/sternframe. The bearing(s) can
be removed from the sleeve and re-installed into it in the normal manner of a
pressed in bearing for repair or replacement in the future if necessary.
IMPORTANT NOTES

• Be very sure of the bearing/tube alignment before the sleeve is

chocked in place. Re-check alignment just before the resin is to be
pumped in, as it will be very difficult, almost impossible to remove or
re-position the sleeve once the resin has set.
• Always follow the specific instructions regarding installation by
checking as provided by the resin manufacture.
Note:
The whole execution shall be to the satisfaction of the surveyor of the
classification society.

TM-STB (ISSUE C) Page 13 of 25

 7.3. Wear of sterntube bearings
The maximum admissible wear of the sterntube bearings is 0.002 mm per mm shaft
diameter. In case of large wear please contact Deep Sea Seals Ltd. If sterntube
seals were delivered by Deep Sea Seals, use the wear down measuring instruction
in the sterntube seals manual.

7.4. Temperature sensor

Please, neglect this Section when no temperature sensor is mounted in the bearing.

7.4.1. The resistance type temperature sensor is an electronic instrument and

special attention must be given to the installation to assure a proper
functioning of this sensitive device.
7.4.2. Working and installation.
A PT-100 temperature sensor has a temperature dependent resistance. It is
usually mounted in the sterntube bearing. There are two types PT-100: single
and dual type PT-100, resp. with three and six wires. A dual type PT-100
consists of two single type PT-100's in one housing, one working and one
spare. So the working and installation is equal for both types.

When a temperature sensor is fitted in the Sterntube bearing, please be

aware of the following:

a. Do not bend the temperature sensitive tip under any circumstances

over the last 100 mm.

b. The minimum bending radius of the temperature sensor is 5 x O.D.

sensor, i.e. 3 mm sensor => R = 15 mm, 6 mm sensor => R = 30 mm.

c. Pay special attention to the bend of the sensor of the aft sterntube
bearing in order to prevent the aft liner from touching the sensor.

d. Use special paste in the temperature sensor pocket, before mounting

the temperature sensor, to provide good thermal conductivity.

e. Check the functioning of the temperature sensor:

1) After installation of the sensors in the sterntube bearings.

2) After fitting the propeller shaft, sterntube seals and propeller, but
before launching.

3) After launching the ship and during the trials.

f. The alarm temperature of the temperature sensors should be installed

at 60° C. Failures of temperature sensors due to neglect of the above
recommendations will render any claims null and void.

TM-STB (ISSUE C) Page 14 of 25

 7.4.3. Determination resistance wires and PT-100.
The correct way to measure a three wire assembly is as follows:

- an accurate (digital) thermometer with three wire input.

- an accurate Ohmmeter (0.01 Ù)

The procedure with an Ohmmeter is as follows:

a. measure the resistance of the wires only, by measuring across the red
wires, this gives you Rw.

b. measure the resistance across the white and one red wire, this gives
you Rt.

c. Rpt = Rt - Rw, the actual resistance of the PT-100.

With the help of the table below, the temperature can be determined:

8. NORMAL OPERATION
During Normal Operating with the sterntube bearing(s) functioning within parameters,
all conditions should be stable.

8.1. Stable Operating Conditions.

8.1.1. Bearing temperature normal.

8.1.2. Lubricant conditions good. All analysis figures should be within acceptable
range according to the Lubricant Manufactures data.

8.2. Routine Checks that should be conducted.

8.2.1. Check and record bearing/sterntube lubricant temperature daily.

8.2.2. Check operation of circulating pumps, filters, coolers etc. (if fitted) on a daily
basis.
8.2.3. Check stern tube/bearing for sea water ingress using the sampling cock.
8.2.4. Test the lubricant in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations
8.2.5. Take sterntube bearing weardown measurements in accordance with
standard procedures.

TM-STB (ISSUE C) Page 17 of 25

9. LUBRICATION SYSTEM
9.1. Design

9.1.1. For a sterntube bearing, the lub oil system is conventionally arranged by the
shipyard whose responsibility it normally is. The exact nature of the system
is normally determined by the sterntube seal manufacturers requirements for
their equipment.
The system drawing(s) will normally define the requirements of the system
with respect to pressures and required differentials as well as flow rates and
temperatures. Pipe work and fittings, sizes, positions and layout will also
normally be covered by the system diagram.

TM-STB (ISSUE C) Page 18 of 25

 9.2. Heat Transfer
Special attention must be given to sufficient heat transfer, when designing the
sterntube lub. oil system.

The aft and forward bearing develop a certain amount of heat, which must be
removed in an efficient manner (outside the sterntube).

The heat developed in the bearings can be calculated as:

Q = f ⋅ W ⋅ D π⋅n
60
Q = developed heat in the bearing [W]
f = friction factor ≈ 0.01
w = bearing load [N]
D = shaftdiam. [m]

n = revolutions per minute [min-1]

This heat is removed via:

a. propeller
b. shaft
c. sternboss
d. aft peak
e. lub. oil

IMPORTANT

There are three special situations we want to draw your attention to:

9.2.1. Where oil pipes from the sterntube to the sterntube header tank pass through
cold rooms: There will be no or very little natural oil circulation.
9.2.2. Where the sterntube is mounted into a two component synthetic filler
material, e.g. Chockfast: There will be very little heat transfer via the
sternboss and aft peak.
9.2.3. Where the Sterntube runs through dry aft peak.

A possible solution may be the application of a forced lubrication system, possibly in

combination with a lub oil cooler.

TM-STB (ISSUE C) Page 19 of 25

 9.3. Testing

9.3.1. Fill the lubricating oil header tank. Make sure that all air has been vented out
of the whole of the lub. oil system.
9.3.2. Flush the system over a period of more than 8 hours, if the system is
equipped with a circulation pump.
9.3.3. If the filter continues to get dirty after 8 hours of flushing, keep on flushing
until the filter no longer traps any foreign particle. During flushing, tap on
each pipe with a hammer. At the end of flushing replace the flushing oil with
new oil.

9.4. Maintenance of lub. oil system.

9.4.1. Periodically check the levels of the lub. oil tanks.

9.4.2. It is advised that during dry-docking the whole lub. oil system is drained and
refilled with fresh oil.

TM-STB (ISSUE C) Page 20 of 25

10. RECOMMENDED LUBRICANT LIST
● Oils used with Deep Sea Seals sterntube bearings; should be a high quality, non-
emulsifying type with a viscosity of 40 to 70 cSt. at 50°C and should be provided
with oxidation, rust and foam inhibitors.

Poorly refined oils or oils with additives containing organic soaps or water soluble
materials should be avoided since they tend to suspend water. The oil list
referenced below stresses paraffin – based oils.

However, for extremely cold operating conditions (arctic, etc.) a naphtha-base oil
having good water de-emulsibility and containing non-sulphurised oxidation, rust,
and anti-foam inhibitors should be considered because of the considerably lower
pour point obtainable relative to that typical of the paraffin-base oils.

● For sterntube bearing used in an “Oil” lubrication system please refer to the
Technical Data Sheet (T.D.S.) 9/004.

The T.D.S. lists recommended and acceptable oils for use with sterntube
bearings.

TM-STB (ISSUE C) Page 21 of 25

11. MAINTENANCE
(Refer to relevant Drawing(s) – see Attachments – Section 13).

11.1. There is no “routine” maintenance that can be carried out on a sterntube bearing.
Maintenance as such revolves around the lubricating system and the lubricating oil
by way of ensuring that both are in optimum condition.

11.2. Factors that normally determine the need for Maintenance are:

11.2.1. Performance:-
This will normally evidence itself in the form of overheating. In-situ
maintenance (scraping/re-bedding of the white metal) can sometimes be
achieved.
11.2.2. Wear:
Normally associated with the white metal in the sterntube bearing.
Maintenance here, normally consists of re-metalling the bearing or replacing
it with a new one.

11.3. Sterntube Bearing Removal

11.3.1. Remove shaft and aft seal.

TM-STB (ISSUE C) Page 22 of 25

 11.3.2. Weld a jacking bridge to suitable points on the hull. Make sure the gap
between the bridge and the sterntube boss is larger than the step length of
the bearing outer diameter.
11.3.3. Remove the anti rotational screws.
11.3.4. Fit the removal plate. This must fit in the bearing groove at the forward end of
the bearing.
11.3.5. Fit the hydraulic jack, extraction rods and plate. The jack must be oversized
to produce least 140% of the required force.
11.3.6. Jack the bearing from the sterntube.
11.3.7. When the bearing is jacked passed the end of the step it should become
loose. The jacking assembly will then need to be removed before the bearing
can be lifted free.

For jacking forces please refer to the following graph.
