elastomeric bearing pad |
Dacheng Elastomeric Bearing Assemblies are custom molded using neoprene or natural rubber and are categorized into three basic designs:
laminated elastomeric bearing pads,
PTFE sliding bearing pads.
and plain elastomeric bearing pads
Elastomeric Laminated Bearing Pad
Dacheng elastomeric laminated bearing pads with simple reinforcement are made up of
multiple elastomer layers separated by reinforcing steel plates ,sulfurized and moulded
together.can be manufactured in a rectangular or circular shape to meet individual
engineering requirements. General laminated bearings suits to bridges with span less than
30m and small displacement.Different flat shape suits to different bridge span structures :
orthogonal bridges adopt rectangular bearing;curvilinear bridges,oblique crossing bridges
and cylindrical pier bridges adopt circular bearing.

PTFE Sliding Elastomeric Bearing Pad
Laminated elastomeric bearings with PTFE sheet bonded on the elastomer:a virgin PTFE layer is bonded to the elastomer to reduce the friction coefficient with the stainless steel welded to the top steel plate. Tetrafluoro plate type rubber bearing suits to bridges with large span,several spans in continuous,with simply supported beam and continuous plates structure,and large displacement.It can still used as the sliding block in purchasing of continuours beam and cross sliding of T-shape beam.
The application of rectangular and circular tetrafluoro plate type rubber bearings are the same with rectangular and circular general plate type rubber bearing,separately.
Non-Reinforced Elastomeric Bearing Pad
Non-Reinforced ElastomericBearing Pads can be used in many construction and civil engineeringapplications to support concrete and steel structures, and where a simple, lowcost rubber separation strip is capable of carrying compressive loads, while at the same time providing translational movement and rotational capacity. Plain pad bearings have a large and varied range of possible applications though these bearings are more typically used in prefabricated structures.
Materials: EPDM,natural rubber or neoprene
