Structural bearings

Characteristics

  • Typical loads: 500 to 120,000 kN

  • Strong and compact

  • Allows large rotations

  • Can rotate about any horizontal and vertical axis

  • Exceptionally reliable vulcanized sealing detail

Principle

mageba RESTON-POT bridge bearings ensure the controlled transfer of forces between a structure’s superstructure and its substructure. The structural bearings also facilitate rotations about every axis and movements in every direction. The pot bearings are so conceived, that they transfer vertical forces to the substructure and permit rotations thanks to an elastomeric pad which is enclosed in the structural bearing.

Applications

RESTON-POT structural bearings are suitable for use in structures like bridges and buildings with low to high loading and frequent movements and rotations.

mageba pot bearings are high-grade products that can be adapted easily, are maintenance-free and can be designed and produced according to the requirements of the bridge or building.
