Structural bearings

High stress structural bearings

• Laminates of synthetic rubber with cellular particles, reinforced with high tensile fabric.
• Supplied as pile caps or continuous bearings.
• Working stress range 4.5 to 7.0MN/m².

Medium stress structural bearings

• Similar construction to Tico CV/CA, but reinforced only in 50mm thickness grade.
• Supplied in virtually any size to suit specific conditions.
• Working stress range 1.0 to 1.4MN/m². 

Low stress structural bearings

• Supplied in two grades moulded in polychlroprene compounds.
• Low frequency isolation for recording studios, etc.
• Working stresses: 0.04 to 0.07 or 0.35 to 0.70MN/m².

Very high stress resilient seating

• Heavy duty synthetic rubber proofed fabric.
• Suitable for the most arduous construction applications.
• Prevents damage from shrinkage or uneven support surfaces.

High stress relilient seating

• Particle-loaded polychloroprene reinforced with high tensile fabric.
• For the majority of high stress applications.
• Large span floors, main supports, bridge abutments, etc.

Medium stress resilient seating

• Manufactured from particle-loaded polypropylene.
• Our most popular seating material.
• Withstands high irregularities in support surfaces.
• For main supports, floor slab expansion joints, etc.

Low stress resilient seating

• Made from particle-loaded polyisoprene.
• High damping characteristics.
• Accommodates normal surface irregularities under low load conditions.

For large lateral movenents with high vertical loads

• Upper member: steel plate with low-friction nylon face.
• Lower member: steel plate with PTFE face.
• Long life maintenance-free sliding surfaces.
• Excellent wear, weather and chemical resistance.

Cut noise and vibration between floors

• Three grades to meet UK Building Regs Document E. 
• Isolate noise and vibration - attenuate transmission between floors of multi-occupancy buildings.
• Maximum performance with minimum thickness.
