Muskegon, Michigan, USA...Kaydon Corporation Bearings Division and Cooper Bearings will host a joint exhibit at the International WorkBoat Show booth #1362, December 5-7, 2012, at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans.

The Kaydon/Cooper booth will feature Kaydon slewing ring bearing solutions found in shipboard and portside cranes, winches, thrusters, and other heavy-duty applications that require significant load-carrying capacity. Kaydon slewing ring bearings provide optimal economy and life within a given dimensional footprint. The booth will also showcase the Cooper split-to-the-shaft bearings found in marine propulsion shafts and generator drives. From military and offshore support vessels to ferries, fishing boats, and tugs, Cooper split bearings provide ease of maintenance, reliability, and flexibility out at sea.
