Cutlass Rubber Bearing
Established in the year 1979, “General Metals & Polymers”, is India’s leading manufacturer and exporter of Cutlass Rubber Bearings. GMP bearings are sold in over 15 countries across 5 continents.
GMPCutlass bearings are precisely designed and manufactured by adept professionals, using finest grade synthetic rubber, rubber chemicals, ferrous & non ferrous metals. Our bearings have precision construction, wear resistance and longer life.
We conduct physical & chemical test of raw materials (rubber & metal), before manufacture. Prior to shipping each bearing is subject to 100% inspection procedure for dimensional accuracy and finish.
Testing and quality control is conducted at our lab equipped for tensile testing, elongation testing, abrasion testing, friction testing, and swelling testing and also dimension checking equipment and gauges.
With a pristine track record for high quality and on time delivery, we have garnered a vast customer-pool across the markets of North Europe, Australia, South America, Middle East, East Asia, India and Indian Subcontinent.

With our expertise in Tribology of rubber and metal, we now design and develop water lubricated / cutlass bearings for special applications and highly demanding environments like deep-sea submersibles, shaft bearings for new generation electric propulsion systems and special industrial applications like bearings for ceramic shaft sleeves, etc.
With continuing research and advancements in product technology, our bearings now exceed US Navy specifications in critical parameters like Tensile strength, elongation and bond strength.
GMP bearings are made to the highest quality standards, in materials, workmanship and dimensional accuracy (Clearance and tolerance is as per U.S. Navy Standard, BuShips plan number 810-1385664 for marine bearings) and as per client specifications for industrial bearings. For over 35 years, our bearings have proved its mettle by operating in the toughest industrial environments and marine conditions ranging from the arctic to the tropics, in shallow waters as well as high seas.
Our range of cutlass bearings includes metal shell and nonmetal shell (Hard Composite) with or without flange, inner rubber lining in Nitrile, Neoprene, etc. Our products find usage in vertical pumps and marine industry for propeller shaft stern tubes and rudder bearings. Our bearings cover a wide range of shaft diameters from 22mm to 400mm. (Bespoke sizes can also be made on request).
All GMP bearings are scientifically designed and engineered by experts in tribology; (the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion for friction, lubrication and wear), manufactured using premium grade material, and skilled workmanship. We conduct physical & chemical test of rubber and metals before manufacturing and dimensional accuracy check of every finished bearing before dispatch. Testing and quality control is conducted at our lab equipped for tensile testing, elongation testing, abrasion testing, friction testing, coefficient of thermal expansion and swell testing.

GMP Marine Cutlass Rubber Bearing
GMP is one of the world’s most trusted names in the marine industry worldwide for over 35 years. Our bearings are used in rudder, shaft and stern gear applications for all types of marine vessels from naval ships, cargo/container ships, tankers, ocean liners, luxury yachts, to harbour tug boats, trawlers and costal fishing boats.
With continuing research and advancements in product technology, GMP Marine Cutlass bearings now exceed US Navy specifications in critical parameters like Tensile strength, elongation and bond strength.
GMP Marine Cutlass Rubber bearings are made to the highest quality standards, in materials, workmanship and dimensional accuracy (Clearance and tolerance is as per U.S. Navy Standard, BuShips plan number 810-1385664). Our bearings have proved its mettle by operating in the toughest conditions ranging from the arctic to the tropics, in shallow waters as well as high seas.
Our bearings cover a wide range of shaft diameters from 25mm to 400mm. (Bespoke sizes can also be made on request).
Our bearings are scientifically designed and manufactured by adept professionals; using premium grade material and skilled workmanship.
The inner groove design of GMP bearings combined with proprietary Nitrile rubber lining create a hydrodynamic lubricating film to separate the bearing surface and the shaft even at low shaft speeds. The grooves are designed for maximum lubricating water flow and dissipation of heat. Abrasive grit is flushed out through these grooves, protecting the shaft as well as the bearings from damage.
GMP Marine Cutlass rubber bearings are engineered with a proprietary formulation of Nitile rubber perfected over decades of research and development. The rubber is extremely tough and resistant to swelling, as well as exposure to chemicals and oil. This Nitrile rubber compound is molded and bonded with the metal or non-metallic shell. The bond strength between the shell and Nitrile rubber lining is an industry leading 235 PSI (16.5 Kg/sq. cm)
Concentricity and Cylindricity
Most manufacturers use centreless grinding techniques to finish the outside diameter but centreless grinding process does not take the inside diameter of the bearing into account, the centres of the outside diameter and inside diameter may not be the same.
GMP bearings are mounted on a mandrel and ground on a cylindrical grinder, thus achieving better concentricity as well as cylindricity to the full length of the bearing so that it is perfectly round, perfectly straight and has no taper, as compared to bearings turned on a lathe machine.

GMP Non-Metal (Composite) Marine Cutlass Rubber bearing.
GMP Non-Metal (Composite) Cutlass Rubber Bearings offer all the benefits of our brass shelled bearings with added benefit of being light weight (1/3 the weight of brass bearings) and no galvanic corrosion due to its anti electrolytic properties.
GMP Composite Cutlass Rubber bearing are made of proprietary composite materials developed by our in house R&D team. The material is resistant to oil, grease and chemicals and match the temperature range of metal bearing materials to function at temperatures from -4°C to 70°C
High temperature resistance and negligible swelling characteristics of GMP composite rubber bearings enable them to operate at a closer running clearance than other bearing materials.
GMP Composite Cutlass Rubber Bearings are available in brown and black colours.
GMP Flanged Composite Cutlass Rubber Bearings is available only in black.
