Disc Bearings

Disc bearings use an elastomeric disc between steel plates to provide rotational capability while incorporating fixed, guided or free sliding functions as required. The structural connection, guide design, elastomer properties and corrosion protection are reviewed as a complete assembly, with inspection documentation prepared around the project quality plan.

Technical overview

Important inputs,
presented clearly.

The values below are deliberately presented as project-specific review fields. Final capacities and movements must be derived from the approved design actions, geometry and governing specification.

Vertical loadConfigured to project bearing reactions
Horizontal displacementFree or guided movement arrangement
RotationVerified against disc and plate geometry
Service temperatureSpecified to suit material selection

Technical information on this page is for enquiry and discussion. It does not replace the project engineer’s approved design, drawings, product data sheet or inspection plan.

Materials & protection

Coordinate material choices with the exposure condition.

  • High-performance elastomeric disc
  • Machined steel plates and guides
  • PTFE/stainless interface where movement is required
  • Specified coating and anchor hardware

Applicable basis

Document the requirement, not a generic promise.

EN 1337-6 reference basis
Project serviceability and fatigue criteria
Client-approved materials documentation
Highway bridge application context
Actual bridge application imagery illustrates the structural environment; product configuration remains project-specific.
