Bridge Bearing Pads

Technical Specification​

Overview

Diode Trading EST is famous for supplying high-quality bridge bearing pads that provide structural load support, control movement, reduce vibration, and ensure long-term sustainability. We offer a variety of bridge bearing pads, including neoprene rubber pads, steel pads, and PTFE sliding bearings. Reinforced elastomeric bearings are useful for buildings, heavy infrastructure applications, and bridge construction.

Advantages & Features

1. Horizontal & high vertical load bearing capacity

2. Absorb vibration & reduce noise.

3. Manage rotation & thermal expansion.

4. Excellent weather resistance, UV protected, and chemical resistance

5. Higher service life with a low maintenance process

6. Prevention of wear by removing metal-to-metal contact

7. Custom shapes and sizes

Product Variety

Neoprene Rubber Bearing Pads

Top-notch chloroprene rubber (CR) manufacturers offer high-quality neoprene pads known for outstanding vibration absorption, structural stability, and load distribution. For horizontal and vertical loads, shear deformation, and thermal expansion, neoprene pads offer excellent accommodation.

PTFE Sliding Bearing Pads

For structural design with large horizontal displacement, PTFE sliding pads are combined with an elastomeric support featuring a low-friction PTFE layer. It allows smooth sliding under heavy load-bearing capacity.

Steel-Reinforced Elastomeric Bearings

Embedded steel laminations are the base of steel-reinforced elastomeric bearings. These bearings offer superior load-bearing capacity, ensure high rotational performance, and are resistant to dynamic and seismic forces.
