PTC Elastomeric Bearings

A Laminated elastomeric bearing is an elastomeric rubber block reinforced with steel plates vulcanised when built. This bearing is the connection between a structure and its support, and should make the following possible through elastic deformation:

• Transmission of normal forces;
• Horizontal movements;
• Rotation of the structure in any direction;
• Transmission of horizontal forces, within defined limits.

It may also be provided with a sliding plane for withstanding large movements of the structure and also having a one or two horizontal movement locking systems.
