Elastomeric bearings with PTFE sliding sheet

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:

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.

Details：

• Materials: neoprene, natural rubber or SBR with PTFE top surface.
• Standard: BS EN 1337-2
• Thickness of PTFE: 1.5 mm to 3 mm or others as your request.
• Thickness: 1/8” to 30” or custom thickness.
• Width: 36” to 48” or custom widths.
• Shapes: rectangular or round.
