Pot bearing Manufacturer

At SHUANGLIN, we engineer reliability in every bridge pot bearing, elevating your projects with top-quality solutions that ensure success.

Brige Pot Bearing

Shuanglin pot bearings handle massive vertical loads while permitting large horizontal movements and rotations. The elastomeric pad confined in steel transfers forces while allowing multi-directional flexibility.

Available in fixed, guided, or free-sliding designs for curved/skewed bridges and space constraints. Constructed to AASHTO/EN 1337 standards with high vertical stiffness, low rotational resistance, and smooth PTFE sliding surfaces.

Reliable force transfer and structural flexibility for high loads, frequent movements, or unique bridge demands. Proven solutions for your most challenging projects.

Types of Pot Bearings

01. Classifications based on the level of movement

fixed pot bearing

Fixed Pot Bearing

  • Vertical support up to 5000 kN.
  • Minimal lateral movement ensures stability.
  • Designed for structures with low expansion.

Guided Pot Bearing

  • Controlled lateral movement, ±100mm.
  • Suited for moderate deck expansion.
  • Balances movement with structural stability.
Free sliding pot bearing

Sliding Pot Bearing

  • Unrestricted lateral movement, ±150mm.
  • Ideal for significant horizontal displacement.
  • Enables smooth sliding to accommodate dynamic forces.

02. Center Guided Pot Bearing

Fixed Pot Bearing

  • Vertical support up to 5000 kN.
  • Minimal lateral movement ensures stability.
  • Designed for structures with low expansion.
Free Sliding Pot Bearing

Free Sliding Pot Bearing

The JPZ (II) pot-type rubber bearings stand out due to their dovetail structure. By connecting the upper support plate with shear keys, these bearings optimize load distribution and reduce overall weight.
  • JPZ (II) cuts anchor shear by 20%, improving load distribution.
  • Mid-rail enhances sliding, cuts weight by 15%.
  • Three settings resist horizontal forces effectively.
  • UHMWPE boosts lifespan by 30%.

Structure

The design and materials of pot bearings follow standards like EN 1337, BS 5400, and AASHTO to ensure their load-bearing capacity, rotation capability, displacement capacity, and durability.
  • Top Plate:

Material: High-strength steel (ASTM A36)

Function: Distributes loads uniformly, provides a stable surface.

    1. Stainless Steel Plate:
      1. PTFE Sheet:
        • Material: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for low friction. ASTM D4894
        • Function: Enables smooth sliding, minimizes wear.
      2. Brass Sealing Ring
        • Material: Brass
        • Function: Seals the elastomeric disc laterally to prevent extrusion
      3. Elastomeric Pad:
Material: Elastomer (e.g., natural rubber, neoprene) EN 1337, BS 5400, AASHTOFunction: Deforms to accommodate rotational movements while transferring vertical load
      1. Steel Pot:
        • Material: High-strength steel alloy. ASTM A709
        • Function: Transfers vertical loads, ensures stability.
      2. Piston Plate

        • Material: Stainless steel or carbon steel
        • Function: Transfers vertical load from the top plate to the elastomeric disc
