Roller
Bearings
It consists of elastomer manufactured from synthetic or natural
rubber and can take both translation and rotation movements
through elastomer deformation. The ability of elastomer to
carry large vertical loads is because of reinforcement provision
Elastomeric that prevents lateral bulging of elastomer.
Bearings
It consists of two curved plate that match each other as
shown in Figure 8. If curved bearing is cylindrical, then it only
accommodates rotation movements. However, both rotation
and translational movements can be dealt with if curved
bearing is spherical.
Curved
Bearings
Pot bearing can support considerable vertical loads and it is
commonly transferred through steel piston to the elastomeric
disc which is almost incompressible. As far as lateral load is
concerned, it is transferred as the steel pistol moves toward
pot wall.
Pot Bearings
Disc Bearings have been extensively used on railroad bridges
as well as highway bridges. The Disc Bearing with its
Polyurethane Disc element gives a cushioning effect,
durability and is designed to handle the excessive live loads,
often present in railroads.
