Elastomeric bearing is a rubber block vulcanized elastomer rubber with inner reinforced steel plates. This bearing is a kind of connection between upper structure and lower supporter. An Elastomeric bearing can also be bonded with PTFE plate to satisfy large horizontal movement in one or two directions. Elastomeric bearings are widely used as supports for bridge girders of many types and as seating pads in precast concrete construction. Arfen with CE certificate for Elastomeric Bearings Produces any type of elastomeric bearings with high quality and long service life.
Pot Bearings
Pot bearings are designed to carry the vertical loads, horizontal loads, longitudinal and transversal movements and rotations. These bearings are used at highway and railway bridges. The fully covered rubber pad is placed in a steel pot. Under high pressure the pad behaves like a liquid material.
Seismic Isolator
Based on the concept of reducing earthquake loads, ‘‘seismic isolation design’’ is considered as the most effective design technology to damp earthquake loads of a structure. With seismic isolation design it is possible to provide seismic isolation not only for the new structures but also for the old structures by installing special isolators between the foundation and superstructure system.
Elastomeric Bearings
Arfen elastomeric (neoprene) bearings, consisting of a waterproof rubber and steel plates which transfers the loads rightly from superstructure to the bridge piers and abutments. This system produces in factory under high temperature and pressure with natural rubber (NR) or chloroprene (CR) plates (in some cases only rubber) and steel plates.
