Consists of elastomer manufactured from synthetic or natural rubber and can take both translation and rotation movements through elastomer deformation. The ability of elastomer to carry large vertical loads is because of reinforcement provision that prevents lateral bulging of elastomer. There are number of elastomeric bearing pads classified based on types of reinforcements used. For example, steel reinforced, plain, fiberglass reinforced and cotton duck reinforced elastomeric bearing pads. Strength and response of each type is different, steel reinforced elastomeric bearing is the strongest one and plain elastomeric pad is the weakest. Elastomeric bearing is neither expensive nor requires considerable maintenance, that is why it the most desired bearing type
POT bearing consisting of a metal piston supported by a disc of unreinforced elastomer that is confined within a metal cylinder for allowing rotational movement about any axis in the horizontal plane and to bear and transmit vertical load. In a nutshell, it’s an advanced bearing than elastomeric bearing can be designed as guided bearing in a particular direction.
Bridge bearings are structure equipment or devices that are installed between bridge substructures or superstructures. The bearings are used to transfer the applied load on the bridge, including earthquake load, wind load, traffic load, etc. Bridge bearings are also responsible for the relative movements between the superstructure and substructure. For example, rotation and translational movements in horizontal or transverse directions.
Bearings used in constructing bridges are divided into two major categories – expansion bearing and fixed bearing. While the expansion bearings can permit translational and rotational movements, the latter only allows rotational and some translational movements. DECG International is one of India’s best bridge bearing manufacturers that offer all the various types of bridge bearings and also guarantee high quality
BLSX LIMITED is a company that specializes in producing rubber components for Considering the range of polymeric compounds used in the various industries we serve, elastomeric materials can be among the most challenging, and sensitive materials to manufacture. To ensure materials are capable of surviving a range of performance and operating scenarios,
Our depth of experience allows us to produce materials with minimal batch variation and consistent quality. Our molding processes – compression, transfer, and injection – satisfy both low and high-volume production.
Bridge bearings are structural equipment or devices installed between bridge substructure and superstructure to transfer the applied load including earthquake loads; wind loads; traffic loads; and superstructure self-weight. Bridge bearings also makes rooms for relative movements between superstructure and substructure, for instance, rotation movements and translational movements in horizontal and transverse direction. Bearing used in the construction of bridge structure is divided into two major categories namely expansion bearings and fixed bearings. The former permits both translational and rotational movements whereas the latter allow rotational and limited translational movements.
The Strip Seal Expansion Joint System consists of a rubber gland, mechanically tightened between two steel edge members and provides a superior watertight proofing system. The design of the BLSX Strip Seal System can easily accommodate
Finger Type expansion joints used in bridge construction are an ideal component to accommodate bridge expansion and contraction while reducing the amount of noise pollution that occurs in other alternative joint types. The primary components of the Finger Type expansion joint consist of steel plates (sliding) that are connected to each side of the road surface’s gap.
SLAB SEAL joint will consist of steel insert and elastomeric slab unit. This type of seal is recommended for simply supported or continuous spans, right or skew (less than 20 degree), moderately curved with maximum movement upto 50mm.
Modular expansion joints are used when the movements of a bridge exceed the capacity of a single gap joint. The individual gaps are sealed by watertight elastomeric profiles, and surface beam movements are regulated by an elastic control system. Modular multiple-gap joints can accommodate movements in every direction and rotations about every axis
SIndian railway having their own expansion joints made of steel angles with loops and cover plates, we have supplied many prestigious railway projects.
