About Bridge Bearings
Bridge Bearings
For the structural stability and higher durability of large bridges our company manufactures heavy duty Bridge Bearings which is installed in between the substructures to resist and transfer the higher loads due to traffic passing over them, earthquake, self-weight of the structure and wind loads. This highly rigid and sturdy component helps to control the movement and reduces the stress induced within the structure. It is suitable to withstand transverse, longitudinal and rotational loading. This component part can be easily installed with the help of anchor fasteners.
The Bridge bearings are the advanced bridge components, accessible with an outstanding resting surface. These allow for controlled movement and can lessen the stresses. Supplied are the outstanding thermal expansions. The bearings we deal in can resist fatigue and allow for improved bearing surface. Bridge bearings offered by us are the modern structures. Offered bearing structures can work with specific types of rocker bearing as well as roller bearing. These allow for simple rotation and effortless movement.
Engineered Reliability for BridgesDesigned for superior performance, our bridge bearings incorporate a spherical structure with single-row precision, providing excellent shock absorption and high compressive strength. The steel and rubber material combination, alongside protective seals, ensures longevity and safety in high-load bridge environments. Every bearing undergoes rigorous inspection to match IRC/IS standards and client specifications.
Flexible Design and Easy InstallationChoose from rectangular or circular shapes tailored to your projects needs. Each bearing features a bolt-on mounting system, simplifying installation. Customizable bore and outside diameter, along with variable thickness and weight, allow seamless integration into diverse bridge designs, whether for new builds or retrofits.
Low Maintenance and Maximum ProtectionOur bridge bearings come with premium anti-corrosion coatings and galvanized/painted finishes, ensuring protection against harsh environmental conditions. Grease lubrication minimizes friction while protective rubber seals safeguard against moisture and contaminants, making maintenance infrequent and easy.
FAQs of Bridge Bearings:
Q: How do bridge bearings handle thermal expansion in varying temperatures?
A: These bearings accommodate a wide temperature range from -30C to +80C while maintaining structural integrity. Their design allows for thermal expansion and contraction, ensuring reliable bridge movement and minimizing stress on structural components.
Q: What surface treatments are applied for corrosion resistance?
A: Bridge bearings are treated with advanced anti-corrosion coatings and are available in both galvanized and painted finishes. This dual protection ensures longevity, even in challenging weather and environmental conditions.
Q: When should bridge bearings be installed during bridge construction?
A: Installation typically occurs after primary structural work and before superstructure placement. The bolt-on mounting type allows for efficient integration during the construction schedule, supporting project timelines.
Q: Where can these bridge bearings be used?
A: They are suitable for all types of bridge construction projects across India and globally, complying with IRC and IS standards. Their high impact resistance and load capacity make them ideal for heavy-duty infrastructure applications.
Q: What is the process for customizing the size and shape of the bearings?
A: Clients can specify design parameters such as bore size, outside diameter, and shape (rectangular or circular). Our team manufactures each bearing to these specifications, ensuring an exact fit for diverse bridge designs.
Q: How does the shock absorption feature benefit bridge structures?
A: The excellent shock absorption feature helps dissipate dynamic loads caused by traffic and environmental forces, reducing stress on the bridge structure. This extends the lifespan of the bridge and enhances safety for users.
Q: What kind of maintenance is required for these bridge bearings?
A: Maintenance needs are minimal, thanks to protective rubber seals, grease lubrication, and anti-corrosion treatments. Regular inspections and occasional lubrication ensure long-term functionality without frequent servicing.
