Monobloc bearing unit LASTO-BLOCK

steelelastomeric

Product overview
mageba LASTO-BLOCK elastomeric bearings provide elastic connections between structural elements. They transfer vertical and horizontal forces from the superstructure to the substructure while allowing movements in all directions and rotations about every axis. Bearings can be supplied with vulcanised steel connection plates on upper and lower surfaces and can include low-friction sliding surfaces for reduced friction and controlled displacement.

Characteristics

• Typical loads: 100 to 20,000 kN
• Compact solution for low to medium loads
• Simple installation and low maintenance
• Vibration damping properties

Principle
LASTO-BLOCK bearings transmit vertical and horizontal forces while permitting translations and rotations. Steel connection plates can be vulcanised into the bearing faces to anchor the unit; optional low-friction sliding surfaces reduce shear resistance and allow temporary support during sliding or launching operations.

Applications
Suitable for bridges, buildings and industrial structures that require transfer of low to medium loads. When fitted with sliding surfaces, LASTO-BLOCK bearings are particularly useful for incremental bridge launching and temporary support during movement of large elements.
