Longstanding experience and unsurpassed service
Ole Riis Nielsen, Segment Manager Europe, says: “Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has been active within the marine and shipping industries for over 25 year and has extensive experience in the shipbuilding and offshore industries.
“Supported by an extensive global network of manufacturing facilities and development centers, Trelleborg offers market-leading sealing solutions backed by unsurpassed service to the marine industry.”
At Nor-Shipping Trelleborg will feature Orkot® Marine, the range of world-leading bearings for the shipping and marine industries, engineered for dynamic propeller shaft bearing solutions. A non-asbestos synthetic composite material incorporating solid lubricants, Orkot® Marine Bearings have exceptional wear resistance and virtually no swell in water. Compared to metal bearings their elasticity permits edge loading and misalignment under the heaviest loads. They provide effective, maintenance-free solutions in saltwater environments. Hydrodynamic running is possible when velocities are at least 1 meter per second/3.2 feet per second. Trelleborg also offers Orkot® solutions for other marine applications including cranes, tow pins, stern rollers, and many other applications.
