Compact Core Bearing

Characteristics

Due to its high material hardness, the Compact Core Bearing – in contrast to ordinary, softer elastomeric bearings – deforms very little under load. In practice this means:

• The high stiffness of the bearing means it is not suitable for accommodating shear deformations and rotations.
• Transverse deformation is extremely low thanks to the bearing‘s excellent shape stability.
• Moments are transferred without large deformations.
• Due to its low deformation and high thermal resistivity, the bearing is particularly suitable for use as a thermal separation layer in end plate butt joints in structural steelwork.

Delivery forms

Calenberg Compact Core Bearings are supplied ready-made in the shape and dimensions required for each project.

Holes, cut-outs, slots etc. can be provided to allow bolts or dowels to pass through the bearings.
