EA Series Standard Bearings Support & Installation

The bearing support members must provide uniform
Bearings in this series are designed to support vertical support. The compressive bearing stress on the
loads of up to 2000kN (200 tonnes) at bearing surface supports varies through the range between 6.4MN/m2
temperatures up to 150°C. For temperatures between (9281bf/in2) and 11.3 MN/m2 (1638.5 lbf/in2) When

surfaces, polished stainless steel and low friction PTFE.
Bearings incorporating DU(B) can be supplied for
applications up to 280°C.

Attachment & Movement

The bearings are available as standards with four
methods of attachment. For EAG types customers
must ensure that they provide shear connection
adequate to react to the applied loads, but excessive
welding must be avoided. Studs on EAJ & EAK types
are threaded studs. Seven movement combinations
are available including constraint in one axis and to
give further flexibility two shapes are available for each
load capacity.

Elastomeric Bearings provide an excellent economic solution for applications where structure movements, longitudinal,
transverse and rotational are too small to moderate. They provide vibration isolation and are generally simple to install.
In strip form they can be laid along a diaphragm to support multiple beams. Plain pads are available in standard or
special sizes. Laminated types provide a robust bearing for larger structures and can also be configured in sliding
types.

EKSPAN Elastomeric Bearings

The Shape of the Bearings

When the rotation properties have to be similar in all Round

directions of the horizontal plane, round bearings are

used. However, a rectangular bearing can handle larger
rotations around its longitudinal axis compared to a
round bearing with a similar surface area (equivalent
surface pressure).
Rectangle

Sliding Bearings
A rubber bearing allows a certain shear. The maximum permissible shear is 70% of the height of the rubber in the
assembly. If the horizontal displacement should be greater sliding bearings must be used. At the top or the bottom
of the sliding bearing a layer of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is vulcanized to the bearing, or the PTFE layer is
placed in a machined recess in a thick steel late which in turn is vulcanized to the bearing. Combined with a smooth
stainless steel plate this yields a friction coefficient of approximately 0.50.

Recommended Installation

In all cases, Ekspan Elastomeric Bearings should be bedded on cementitious or epoxy mortar sufficiently thick
(5mm to 20mm) to remove surface irregularities of the structural concrete or steelwork in contact with the bearing.
The bedding operation should be carried out while the mortar is plastic.

Positive Location
It is possible during construction and under certain This may be achieved by locating the bearing within
temporary loading conditions for a bearing to be 6mm deep recesses. It should be noted that the depth
subjected to a combination of high shear load coupled of recesses reduces the effective height of the bearing
with a low vertical load which may give rise to slippage. and its associated shear movement capacity.
In such cases, the bearing will need to be positively This method of location is preferable to the use of stub
