Description

ROMOR I: Designed for high performance, silent operation and long life

ROMOR I Dovetailed Stave Design for Naval Bronze Housing

ROMOR I Glass Smooth Facing

Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polymer Alloy Backing

It's why you find ROMOR I on 90% of all surface ships and submarines in the U.S. Navy Fleet, as well as many navies around the world.

ROMOR I Staves all-polymer construction durable in gritty, dirty waters.

*Normalized data based on measurement of wear. Independent laboratory test in gritty water.

ROMOR I Staves low co-efficient of friction.

*Note low ROMOR I stave friction values at slow shaft speeds which reduces stick-slip problems.

ROMOR I Hydrodynamic Design Minimizes Bearing and Journal Wear

Low coefficient of friction under 0.001

"Elastic Hydrodynamic" Grit Rejection

High-performance replacement for Johnson brass-backed dove-tailed staves.

  • ROMOR I Staves are 1/4 the weight of our old brass-backed staves and can be replaced without removing bearing from shipyard, or from the vessel itself.
  • ROMOR I Staves are corrosion resistant. Easily removed from segmental housing. No corrosion to bind them.

ROMOR I is available in two configurations:
