Ciparall Sliding Bearing

Use and areas of application

Ciparall® sliding bearings allow exerted forces to be transmitted without causing damage while also cen- tralising the load. Splitting forces, uneven bearing surfaces and creep deformation are not transmitted into the sliding layer; the dimensionally stable slide level remains planar and parallel and the slide properties are preserved. These are a fundamental component of ensuring correct, reliable function. Low coefficients of friction allow practically force-free horizontal displacements in components.

GRP reinforcement

Approved by building authorities, the GRP version is fully corrosion-resistant and offers an inexpensive alternative.The Ciparall® sliding bearing is used in all areas where a point-floating, low-constraint horizontal displacement and a permanently elastic, articulated connecting element is required. The combined sliding and deformation bearing has an independently acting sliding and deformation layer.

Fire behaviour

Fire safety report no. 3799/7357-AR by the Technical University (TU) of Braunschweig must be taken into account for fire safety requirements. The report describes minimum dimensions and other measures that fulfil the requirements specified in DIN 4102-2.

Building Authority Approval 

The approval for use as a construction bearing in building construction is regulated by the standard building authority certification Z-16.2-518, issued by the German Center of Competence in Civil Engineering (DIBt).
