COMPARISON OF COEFFICIENTS OF FRICTION ON WATER LUBRICATED BEARINGS

Charts and graphs can be boring and sometimes mis- leading. This simple ABC chart is not. It shows clearly and positively that the B.F.Goodrich Cutless bearing is still the number one rubber bearing in the marine industry.

As part of our continuing research and development, three brands of rubber bearings were tested at the

B.F.Goodrich Research Laboratory. The chart shows that BFG Cutless bearings have the lowest coeffi- cient of friction. This means less power drag, more

RPM, and longer bearing life for you.

Less friction and better wear are due to the thor- oughly tested rubber bearing compound and unique

BFG Cutless water wedge design. (See illustration.)

Remember, too, that Cutless is not a generic term for all rubber bearings. It is a B.F.Goodrich Company trademark identifying the best bearing you can buy.

Send for Bulletin 482D giving additional informa- tion on water lubricated BFG Cutless bearings.
