elastomeric bridge Expansion joint Manufacturer

Unmatched in elastomeric bridge bearings, we’ve played a key role in over a thousand global projects. Trust SHUANGLIN for reliability, precision, and proven excellence!

Elastomeric Expansion Joint

 Elastomeric expansion joint is a bridge expansion device, primarily used for old bridge renovations, small bridges, or bridges with lower load capacities. It is designed using the principle of low shear modulus in rubber material, constructed as a unit with rubber, steel plates, or angle irons.

  • Material: Neoprene, Steel
  • Usage: Designed for superior bridge movement accommodation
  • Application: Ideal for highway bridges, railway bridges, and pedestrian bridges
  • Movement: 50-330mm
