# High Radial Loads from Shafts Require Bearings with High Load Capacity

## High Radial Loads

Ship shaft lines transmit enormous torque. Bearings must withstand high radial loads from the weight of shafts and propeller thrust.

## Load Sources

- Weight of shafts and propeller
- Torque from engine
- Side loads from propeller
- Vibrations

## Requirements

- Load capacity up to 3000 kN
- Resistance to combined loads
- Durability of 50,000+ hours

## MS Bearing Solutions

We offer high-strength bearings for ship shaft lines.
