Life Expectancy
One particular advantage that Laminated Elastomeric Bearings
have over other types of structural bearings, is their inherent long
life expectancy. Recorded visual inspection of natural rubber
pads and rings uncovered in old tunnels in London, UK, show
that after some 50 years of service, they were still in good
condition. Keeping in mind that technology in the compounding
of rubber has greatly improved since these pads and rings were
installed, it can be safely stated that current day Laminated
Elastomeric Bearings can be given a predicable life expectancy
of some 100 years.
Attachment Methods
Bearings may be restrained in position by friction only, provided
that under all load combinations:

Explanation of Tables
The technical information on the following four pages relates to
the physical and calculated performance characteristics of
bearings available in our standard ranges, both in rectangular and
circular bearings. Values quoted are nominal. Tolerances apply.

*Note 1 - Value based on the maximum allowable reduction in projected plan area = 20 per cent for shear parallel to the short dimension.
*Note 2 - For fixed bearings, with holes, it should be noted that a reduction in rated load capacity will occur. Exact load capacity figures can be
determined from first principals. Consultation with us can assist in determining these values.
*Note 3 - Manufacturing tolerances do not apply to compressive stiffness values stated in these tables. If the rotational capacity of the bearing
