Johnson Cutless water-lubricated rubber bearings have nothing more to prove.
More marine professionals have put their trust in Duramax Johnson Cutless Rubber Bearings than any other bearing in the world. Johnson Cutless is the original, true Cutless bearing, and is only available from Duramax Marine.
The Cutless brand is the most recognized water lubricated marine bearing around the world. Our Johnson Cutless bearing was the first and continues to be the only bearing to meet all MIL-DTL-17901C Class II requirements.
Duramax Marine high quality standards, unmatched marine experience, and decades of water-lubricated rubber bearing research has resulted in performance records that other manufacturers only promise.
Designed for superior performance in the most demanding environments.
Johnson Cutless bearings are engineered with a proprietary formulation of extremely tough chemical and oil resistant nitrile rubber polymer lining, molded and firmly bonded into a naval brass or non-metallic shell. Grooves run the entire length of the rubber lining allowing for maximum lubricating water flow and dissipation of frictional heat.
Duramax Advanced Bearing solutions are custom-designed for low maintenance & high performance.
Duramax Marine bearing solutions are a result of researching the scientific fundamentals of bearing technology, then combining that research with a solid base of product application knowledge.
Duramax Marine, using innovative thinking, is continually researching and custom-engineering new rubber-polymer bearing formulations that set new performance standards in the marine industry. All our unique rubber bearing innovations are designed to deliver not only long bearing life, but to reduce shaft and liner damage in the harshest working environments.

Our Cutless® brand water-lubricated rubber bearings have been trusted by more industry professionals than any other. Even in the most abrasive conditions, they are at the head of the class of hydro-dynamic industrial bearings.
Simply put, rubber is an excellent hydrodynamic water lubricated bearing material. In fact, all hard surface bearing materials, including hard plastic, fail to measure up to the high performance standards of our rubber bearing compounds. Why? Because the presence of water dramatically reduces rubber's coefficient of friction to make it one of nature's most slippery surfaces.
Cutless® elastomeric compounds control Total System WearSM (TSW). Some hard surface polymer bearing manufacturers may claim to have an impressive life span compared to Cutless® Industrial Bearings. However, this is only half of the story. Hard surface bearings are just that - hard. This hardness may extend the longevity of the
