Slip-on bearing unit RESTON-POT

fixedsteelelastomer

Overview
RESTON-POT structural bearings by mageba are designed for bridges and buildings subject to a wide range of vertical loads and frequent movements and rotations. They can be adapted to project requirements and are maintenance-free in normal operation.

Characteristics

• Typical loads: 500 to 120,000 kN
• Strong and compact design
• Allows large rotations
• Can rotate about any horizontal and vertical axis
• Exceptionally reliable vulcanized sealing detail

Principle
mageba RESTON-POT bearings ensure controlled transfer of forces between a structure’s superstructure and substructure. They transfer vertical forces to the substructure while permitting rotations through an enclosed elastomeric pad; lateral movements and rotations are accommodated depending on bearing type.

Applications
RESTON-POT bearings are suitable for bridges and buildings with low to high loading and frequent movements or rotations. They are used where vertical load transfer combined with rotation capacity and movement accommodation is required.

Images / Examples

• Composition of a guided sliding bearing (Type TE) with a guide bar on each side
• Installed free sliding bearing (Type TA) with movement scale
• Installed TA and TF bridge bearings with anchor plates
• Structural bearing which can resist horizontal forces in one direction (Type TE)
• Underside of the sliding plate with polished metal sheet
• Positioned and concreted TE bearing with dowels
