Benefits of Structural Bearings

Structural bearings are a construction component that provides a resting surface between a superstructure and a seating or supporting structure. It’s designed to enable controlled, stress-reducing movement and transmit loads created by operating forces, temperature variations, wind, and seismic events.

Integrating self-lubricating structural bearings into your application is an efficient, economical way to accommodate levels of load and movement. Other advantages include:

  • Affordable
  • Low Coefficient Of Friction
  • Simplifies Load Transfers
  • Accommodate Large Rotations And High Reaction Loads
  • Withstands Heavy Dynamic And Vertical Loads
  • Reduces Maintenance

The Structural Bearing Edge

When it comes to the bridges supporting the movement of people, vehicles, and trains or the power generation facilities supplying electricity to homes and businesses, an off-the-shelf bearing just won’t cut it. Our in-house engineering team specializes in the development of structural bearings that meet the requirements of your application.

When designing custom structural bearings, our goal is to improve performance and longevity while accommodating your timeline and budget. Prototypes can be created for validation and testing. Once the design is approved, full-scale production begins. With various machining capabilities and value-added services under one roof, your supply chain is streamlined. Our capabilities include:

  • CNC Machining
  • Welding
  • Painting

Our machinists and welders have years of experience and an eye for quality. They’re capable of fabricating bearing assemblies to a variety of American Welding Society structural codes.
