FAQ

What is the expected lifespan of your elastomeric bearings under normal operating conditions?

Under normal conditions and with proper maintenance, our elastomeric bearings have a service life that can exceed 50 years.

How do your elastomeric bearings perform under heavy dynamic loads?

Our bearings are engineered with a focus on fatigue life under dynamic loads. The rubber compound and steel reinforcement layers are optimized to provide durability and resilience under heavy loads.

How do you test and validate the performance of your bearings?

We conduct a range of tests, including compression, shear, and fatigue tests, to validate the performance of our bearings. We also perform finite element analysis (FEA) and other simulations to ensure that our bearings meet the required specifications.
