OpenAbout Exalto
Exalto is a British manufacturer of precision-engineered shaft bearings — its cutlass bearings made by Exalto Bearings UK Ltd in Derby, England, part of the Graphite Metallizing Group since 2016. The brand has built a strong international reputation for producing high-quality cutlass bearings that deliver exceptional performance and longevity in the demanding marine environment. Exalto bearings are widely specified by boat builders, naval architects, and marine repair yards across Europe, Asia, and Australasia.
Exalto cutlass bearings are manufactured to exacting tolerances and are available in a wide range of sizes to suit virtually any shaft diameter and stern tube configuration. The fluted rubber inserts allow water to flow through for lubrication and cooling, providing reliable, long-life support for propeller shafts on sailboats, powerboats, motor yachts, and commercial vessels.
Exalto names Luxfords Marine Industrial Solutions as its Australian stockist for cutlass bearings — with a particular speciality in GRP-shelled bearings — providing access to the full bearing catalogue including made-to-order specials. The Luxfords team offers detailed technical support on bearing selection, sizing, and installation. Customers across Australia benefit from Luxfords' specialist knowledge and ability to source even hard-to-find Exalto cutlass bearings.
