Pot bearings
RESTON-POT
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.
