Bridge Bearings – also called Structural Bearings, Load Bearings, or Bearing Pads – are essential to any structure that experiences internal movement and varying vertical and horizontal loads.

Dynamic pot bearing – including fixed pot bearings are the new generation of bridge bearings designed to meet the demands of today’s complex bridge structures. They carry a vertical load by compression on an elastomeric pad confined in a steel cylinder and which accommodates rotations by deformations of the disc. The elastomeric bearings under a triaxial pressure offers low resistance to deformation but high vertical stiffness. The center of pressure in sub-structure changes in case of roller bearings due to sliding. PTFE Rocker Bearing transfers vertical load and horizontal loads. it allows movement and rotation along one axis. POT PTFE Bearings are capable of bearing vertical load, horizontal forces and allows movement as well as rotation alongany horizontal axis.
Poly Fluoro combines its expertise in PTFE with technical know-how in PTFE bonding and metal fabrication to produce high-quality, durable bridge bearings.
PTFE expansion joints are corrosion-resistant and made to withstand the high pressure and temperature in a compact, space-saving design.
Poly Fluoro’s bearings are available in two forms:
Sliding Bearings — These are flat bearings comprising two sliding elements — PTFE and polished stainless steel. They are generally employed for loads less than 100 tonnes.
