BUY QUALITY ELASTOMERIC BEARINGS AT TECHNOSLIDE
Elastomeric bearings are typically used as bridge bearings. These particular bearings are designed for use in bridges and similar load-bearing structures across the globe. The reason they are ideal for the job is because they can support vertical loads with minimal compression and also allow the structure to contract and expand with minimal resistance, while allowing for normal end rotation of bridge beams. Bridge bearings are generally quite easy to install and if you purchase a high-quality product, it requires minimal maintenance too.
At Technoslide, we provide an extensive range of standard elastomeric bearings to the industry. With our design experience, we can also manufacture custom bearing designs for speciality applications in order to meet clients’ individual specifications.
Design Variations
In order for bearings to accommodate a variety of loads, the thickness and hardness of internal elastomer layers must be varied along the plan area. By increasing hardness and thickness, different degrees of horizontal movement resistance and larger beam-end rotation movements can be allowed for.
When a typical bridge bearing is manufactured, it is done by means of a mould. Common elastomeric bearing moulds typically allow for square, rectangular, and circular bearing shapes. Custom-designed shapes with various features, such as clipped corners, tapering, and slots can also be created upon request, according to specifications provided by the customer.
