Detailed Engineering Description
Pot Bearings are suitable for high loads, large horizontal displacements and multidirectional rotations. They can be designed and manufactured according to International Standards BS 5400, AASHTO, or AS 5100.4.
A pot bearing basically consists of an elastomeric disc pad confined within a rigid metallic pot machined from structural steel. The elastomeric pad is compressed by a tight-fitting piston, behaving like an incompressible fluid under bearing pressures reaching 30 N/mm² and rotation angles up to 0.03 radians.
Available in Fixed (TF), Guided (TGe), and Free Sliding (TGa) configurations with Virgin PTFE sliding surfaces and mirror-polished stainless steel sheets for near zero friction.
