Thordon TG100 500mm
A stern tube bearing designed for a 500 mm shaft, featuring a polymer composite material and a total length of 1250 mm, used to support and guide the propeller shaft while isolating it from seawater. The supplied category identifies it as Stern Tube Bearing, and it is normally installed in the stern tube or propulsion shaft line where it supports the rotating propeller shaft and maintains shaft alignment. In that role, its primary purpose is to carry radial shaft load while permitting low-friction rotation under the lubrication arrangement used by the vessel. Water-lubricated composite or rubber bearings and oil-lubricated metallic bearings differ in material and lubrication, but all require correct alignment, surface condition and running clearance. Within the supplied list, neighbouring variants are distinguished by their model designations and naming, while the source does not state further model-specific hardware differences. No additional performance, approval or construction detail is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Common failures & inspection points
Service & Maintenance
Inspect bearing condition, lubrication or flushing arrangement, shaft surface, alignment indicators and any accessible wear measurements. Trend stern-tube or bearing temperature and vibration where instrumentation is fitted. Investigate asymmetric wear because it can indicate shaft-line alignment problems rather than simple bearing age. Refer to the manufacturer and class documentation for the exact figure for clearance, wear and replacement limits.
