PTFE top elastomeric bearing, as its name implies, has a layer of virgin dimpled PTFE bonded to the laminated elastomeric bearing to reduce the sliding resistance and improve the structure's displacements capacity.
Features:
A black laminated elastomeric bearing with white PTFE top surface to reduce friction coefficient.
PTFE top elastomeric bearing
Allow movements bigger than shear capability in plain surface.
PTFE sliding surface with lubricants to reduce the friction coefficient.
With dimples on PTFE for contain lubricant to ease the sliding movements.
Excellent buffering and shock isolation.
Withstand vertical load and suit to rotations of beam ends.
In accordance with European standard EN 1337-2 or other international standards.
Available in various shapes such as rectangular or round.
Applications:
Bridges with large spans, continuous spans, simply supported beam, continuous plate structures or large displacements.
Support structures requiring less vertical but more horizontal weight.
