About Elastomeric Bearing
Our provided Elastomeric Bearing is made from strong and pliable material like neoprene and heavy duty industrial rubber. The main function of this bearing is to distribute superstructure loads to the substructure and allow the superstructure to undergo necessary movement in irregular environmental conditions without creating any harmful stresses. Further, our offered Elastomeric Bearing is made by using finest grade metals like cast iron and carbon steel and praised for their unique features like long service life and ergonomic design.

FAQs of Elastomeric Bearing:
Q: How are elastomeric bearings installed in bridge and flyover structures?
A: Elastomeric bearings are typically positioned between the superstructure and substructure of bridges or buildings. Installation involves placing the bearing at designated locations, ensuring correct alignment, and securing it according to design specifications. No additional lubrication is required as the bearings are self-lubricating. Proper installation guarantees efficient load transfer and accommodates structural movement.
Q: What benefits do elastomeric bearings offer compared to conventional bearings?
A: Elastomeric bearings provide superior vibration absorption, thermal expansion accommodation, and load distribution, reducing stress on structural components. Their low maintenance, corrosion resistance, and long service life (510 years) make them a cost-effective choice for high-load applications, especially in bridges and large infrastructure projects.
Q: When is it necessary to customize elastomeric bearing size or thickness?
A: Custom sizes or thicknesses are specified when a project requires unique load capacities, movement ranges, or structural clearances that standard bearings do not accommodate. All dimensionsincluding bore size, outside and inside diameter, and overall thicknesscan be tailored to meet precise engineering requirements.
Q: What compliance standards do these elastomeric bearings meet?
A: Our elastomeric bearings comply with IS 3400, IRC:83 Part II, and ASTM D4014 standards. These certifications ensure the bearings deliver reliable mechanical properties, safety, and longevity in demanding civil engineering applications.
Q: Where should elastomeric bearings be stored before installation?
A: Bearings should be stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, chemicals, and sharp objects. This preserves the material quality and extends storage life (510 years), ensuring the bearings maintain their physical and mechanical properties until installation.
Q: How does the laminated structure improve the performance of elastomeric bearings?
A: The steel-laminated structure enhances load distribution, reduces deformation, and improves shear flexibility. This design allows the bearing to accommodate both vertical loads and horizontal movements, ensuring optimal performance and structural safety under varying operational conditions.
