The construction product is a spherical or cylindrical bearing with special sliding material made of fluoropolymer
which permits rotation and displacement movements by a plane and a curved sliding surface between bearing plates
of steel (see Figure 1 and Figure 2).The subject of the EAD is the complete bearing, including, if relevant, the
necessary guides or restraints. As an alternative to Figure 1, the bearing may also be used upside down, i.e. with flat
sliding surfaces lying below (meaningful, for example in the case of steel bridges).
The spherical and cylindrical bearings with special sliding material made of fluoropolymer are designed according
to EN 1337-7 and may be combined with sliding elements according to EN 1337-2 as shown in EN 1337-1. Instead
of PTFE according to EN 1337-2, a low friction fluoropolymer made of a specified PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)
with melting temperature of at least 50°C higher than the maximum operating temperature described below, is used
for the sliding surfaces of the bearing. This low friction fluoropolymer is suitable for low and high temperatures
with improved wear resistance and load-bearing capacity and it is not covered by the scope of EN 1337-2. The
geometrical conditions of the special sliding material sheets are given in Annex B.
Sliding surfaces with a diameter of the circumscribing circle of sliding material sheets less than 75 mm or greater
than 2500 mm, or with effective bearing temperatures less than - 50 °C or greater than + 48 °C, or up to + 90 °C if
required by the manufacturer, are outside the scope of this EAD. Effective bearing temperatures above + 48 °C are
limited to short periods as due to climate temperature changes. If composite material in accordance with EN 1337-2
is used in guides, the maximum effective bearing temperature is limited to + 48 °C. Spherical and cylindrical
bearings with special sliding material made of fluoropolymer with an included angle 2 θ > 60° and 2 θ > 75°
respectively are beyond the scope of this EAD (see Clause 1 and Figure 6 of EN 1337-7).
For the types of the bearings covered by this EAD, the drawings given in EN 1337-7, clause 3.1.2 and clause 3.1.9
apply. The components are indicated as given in the next Figures 1 and 2.

Instead of the undimpled fluoropolymer sheets, only where self-alignment between the mating parts of the
bearing is possible, composite materials in accordance with either clause 5.3.1 or 5.3.2 of EN 1337-2 can be
used.
The mating surfaces are made of either austenitic steel in accordance with clause 5.4 of EN 1337-2, or hard
chromium plating in accordance with clause 5.5 of EN 1337-2.
The ferrous materials used for backing plates of the sliding surfaces are in accordance with EN 1337-2, clause 5.6.

The product is not fully covered by the following harmonised technical specification: EN1337-
7:2004-03 (“Structural bearings – Part 7: Spherical and cylindrical PTFE bearings”)
Instead of PTFE according to EN 1337-2, referred to in EN 1337-7, a low friction fluoropolymer made of a specified
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is used as sliding material.
Furthermore the effective bearing temperatures, covered by this EAD are from - 50 °C up to + 90 °C.
The sliding surfaces covered by this EAD comprise a diameter of the circumscribing circle of sliding material sheets not
less than 75 mm and not greater than 2500 mm.

The spherical and cylindrical bearings with special sliding material made of fluoropolymer are intended to be used
for the support of bridges or building works in accordance with the scope of EN 1337-1 where the requirements on
the individual bearings are critical.
Spherical and cylindrical bearings with special sliding material made of fluoropolymer are suitable for all types of
structures. They are especially suitable for non-rigid structures with relatively large and frequent displacements
caused by working loads, next for superstructures that induce fast sliding displacements in bearings, e.g. in bridges
for the high speed railways, as well as for regions with continuously low and high temperatures. Effective bearing
temperatures above 48 °C are limited to short periods as due to climate temperature changes.
The spherical and cylindrical bearings with special sliding material made of fluoropolymer are mainly used in
concrete, steel and composite structures.
1.2.2 Working life/Durability
The assessment methods included or referred to in this EAD have been written based on the manufacturer’s request to
take into account a working life of the spherical and cylindrical bearings with special sliding material made of
fluoropolymer for the intended use as to be expressed in the European Technical Assessment in terms of years
depending on the accumulated total sliding path assessed according to clause 2.2.6 and Annex E of this EAD. These
provisions are based upon the current state of the art and the available knowledge and experience.
The working life of the bearing is reduced to 10 years if in bearing’s guides the composite materials according to EN
1337-2 are used instead of the special sliding material made of the specified fluoropolymer.
When assessing the product the intended use as foreseen by the manufacturer shall be taken into account. The real
working life may be, in normal use conditions, considerably longer without major degradation affecting the basic
requirements for works1.
The indications given as to the working life of the construction product cannot be interpreted as a guarantee neither
given by the product manufacturer or his representative nor by EOTA when drafting this EAD nor by the Technical
Assessment Body issuing an ETA based on this EAD, but are regarded only as a means for expressing the expected
economically reasonable working life of the product.

The construction product is a spherical or cylindrical bearing, which permits rotation and displacement movements
by a plane and a curved sliding surface between bearing plates of steel (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). The subject of
this EAD is the complete bearing, including, if relevant, the necessary guides or restraints. As an alternative to
Figure 1, the bearing may also be used upside down, i.e. with flat sliding surfaces lying below (meaningful, for
example in the case of steel bridges).
The spherical and cylindrical bearings are designed according to EN 1337-7 and may be combined with sliding
elements according to EN 1337-2 as shown in EN 1337-1. Instead of pure PTFE according to EN 1337-2 a special
sliding material made of PTFE filled with a solid lubricant and reinforcing fibres, with melting temperature of at
least 50 °C higher than the maximum operating temperature described below, suitable for high temperatures outside
the scope of EN 1337-2 is used for the sliding surfaces of the bearing.
Sliding surfaces with a diameter of the circumscribing circle of special sliding material sheets less than 75 mm or
greater than 3000 mm, or effective bearing temperatures greater than + 48°C, or + 90 °C if requested by the
manufacturer, are outside the scope of this EAD. Effective bearing temperatures above + 48 °C are limited to short
periods as due to climate temperature changes. If composite material in accordance with EN 1337-2 is used in
guides, the maximum effective bearing temperature is limited to + 48 °C. Spherical and cylindrical bearings with an
included angle 2 θ > 60° and 2 θ > 75° respectively are beyond the scope of this EAD (see clause 1 and Figure 6 of
EN 1337-7).
