High-Performance Laminated Bearing Pad Manufacturer

Leading LNR linear Rubber Bearing Manufacturer Offering Top-Quality Earthquake Protection

LNR Laminated Neoprene Bearings

The LNR Laminated Bearing Pad consists of alternating structural steel plates and functional rubber layers. Steel plates provide vertical load capacity, while rubber ensures horizontal flexibility. The protective rubber layer shields the internal functional rubber from aging and environmental factors.

Seismic isolation bearings elongate the structure’s natural period and increase damping to isolate around 80% of earthquake forces. This enhances seismic performance by approximately 8–10 times compared to conventional buildings, maximizing the structure’s continued functionality during earthquakes.

Principle

Laminated Bearing Pad provides seismic isolation by combining multi-layer natural rubber and a central lead core. During an earthquake, the lead core dissipates energy through plastic deformation, converting kinetic energy into heat, while the rubber layers absorb vibrations and allow horizontal movement. This dual action significantly reduces seismic forces and helps the building return to its original position post-earthquake, ensuring enhanced structural stability and integrity.

Structure and Advantage

  • Multilayer Rubber-Steel Laminated Structure
    LNR bearings consist of alternating layers of natural rubber and steel plates. This design provides:
    – Rubber layers with good elasticity and energy dissipation capability
    – Steel plates for reinforcement and stiffness
  • Large Shear Deformation Capacity
    The rubber layers allow large horizontal shear deformations to accommodate seismic and thermal movements.
  • Effective Connection to Superstructure
    LNR bearings are effectively connected to beams, piers etc., transferring horizontal forces to the substructure.
  • Fixed and Sliding Types
    LNR bearings can be either fixed type relying on rubber shear deformation, or sliding type allowing displacement through a sliding interface.
