Bearing Blocks for dredging vessels and other applications - Matecs

Bearing blocks

Bearing blocks are used in various applications such as wind energy and pumping installations. On board of dredging vessels they are installed to support the drive shaft of the dredge or water pumps.

We build bearing blocks to endure the extreme forces that occur in the drive train. The assembly of our bearing blocks can be supplied with a reinforced foundation, build for purpose. Thus ensuring a long lifespan. These blocks are available in various sizes. Depending on the load, the shafts of these bearing blocks can be produced in any alloy you require and we can advise you on your choice.
