Pot bearing, also known as pot rubber bearing, with elastomeric bearing embedded inside of the steel plate, can be divided into fixed pot bearing, guided pot bearing and free sliding pot bearing. Pot bearings are special types of bridge bearings for taking large loads, large horizontal displacements and large rotation
Fixed pot bearing is unmoved in all directions. Under loads, the elastomeric bearing pad behaves likes an incompressible confined fluid which enables the rotations on any axis.
Technical performance
Pot bearings are suitable for locations where low-profile, high-load bearing devices are required. And they are especially suited for curved or skewed bridges and other complex structures where the direction of rotation varies or cannot be precisely determined.
