1. APPLICATION
HERCULES TYPE D, HLD bearings have been developed to fulfill the need for a
low friction bearing on corbels and columns, where a continuous slip joint is
inappropriate. They can be used under beams and slabs and also under pipes,
ducts, conveyors, pressure vessels and small span bridges.
2. MATERIAL
HLD bearings consist of a mild steel top plate to which a polished stainless steel
facing plate is riveted. This plate slides against PTFE coated pad of reinforced
rubber which in turn is bonded to a mild steel base plate (optional for HLD/FF)
3. DESIGN LIMITATIONS
4. SIZES AVAILABLE
Table 4.1 lists a range of standard sizes available. These can be supplied
with or without base plate depending on the installation. Top slide plates
have been designed to accommodate movement up to ±30mm in the
principal direction of movement and ±7.5mm in transverse direction. Two
grouting-in bolts are normally supplied with their centre line parallel to the
pad's major axis.

Table 4.2 – 4.6 list a range of standard sized available for steel and
concrete connections. These bearings are designed to be removable and
to accept lateral load of 30% of the vertical rated load. Other bearings
having larger capacities than those listed, can be designed by our
Technical Department. End stops, wiper seals and uplift constraints can
also be incorporated.

Section 4 HERCULES TYPE D BEARINGS [HLD]
5.1 The diagram on page 4-4 shows a HLD Bearing being cast into an in-situ
roof slab. Before leaving the factory the bearing pad is blocked in with
polystyrene strips and the whole bearing assembly is sealed with paper
tape. This tape excludes dirt and dust from the Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene
(PTFE) face and should not be removed. Grouting-in bolts are provided to
screw into the tapped holes provided in the top plate.
5.2 Prepare concrete seating with a wood float finish so that the level does not
vary more than 2mm from a straight edge placed in any direction across
the seating. The horizontal plane of the seating should vary no more than
3mm from the elevations shown on the plans.
5.3 Place the bearing in the position shown on the plans and cut any strips of
expanded polystyrene required for blocking out around the bearing.
Remove the bearing and the loose styrene strips and brush off any dust or
grit. Apply Hercules adhesive, type HBA, and bond into position. In some
cases it may be better to use Hercules Epoxy Grout, especially if the
seating is rough.
5.4 Cover the joints between the bearing and polystyrene strips with polythene
sheet or masking tape to prevent ingress of concrete during the pour.
6.2 Fabricated steel structures are sure to be distorted and should be checked
for flatness at the bearing seat. A straight edge placed from corner to
corner across the seating should show no more than 0.25mm gap along its
length. If this exceeds, the seats may require machining or the bearings
may choke up. Alternatively, the gap can be filled with Hercules Epoxy
Grout.
6.3 Make sure that the top plate is positioned in such a way that it covers the
PTFE pad at all conditions of expansion. On no account should the top plate
be allowed to uncover the PTFE in service as this will cause major damage.
Base plates should be placed so that the PTFE and stainless steel faces
come together as evenly as possible. Pad thickness is normally chosen to
accommodate a certain amount of rotation due to the fabrication and
constructional tolerances but excessive misalignments should be
investigated at an early stage in erection.
6.4 Bearings are usually supplied with the top plate and lower pad taped
together to protect the PTFE in transit. It may be necessary to remove this
tape during installation, in which case, make sure the PTFE and stainless
steel surfaces are kept scrupulously clean.
6.5 Some bearing assemblies are supplied with steel straps holding the top
and base plates together. This is done to protect the bearing faces during
transit and erection and/or provide a particular offset between the two
plates. Make sure that offset bearings are installed as shown on the plans
and remember to remove the straps after installation.

1. APPLICATION
HERCULES TYPE D TANK TOP BEARINGS, HLD/TT have been developed to fulfill
the need for an easily installed low friction bearing under roof beams of water
tanks. They are particularly useful where loads are small and both lateral and uplift
forces need to be accommodated. They can also be used in other light structures.
2. MATERIAL
HLD/TT consist of a thin stainless steel slide plate with two stainless steel studs
flash welded to the upper face. The lower face is highly polished and the plate is
provided with slotted holes for uplift through bolts. This plate slides against a PTFE
coated pad of reinforced rubber which has two clearance holes drilled in it.
3. DESIGN LIMITATIONS
4. SIZES AVAILABLE
Table 4.9 lists the range of standard sizes available. These bearings are designed
to fit standard UNIVERSAL BEAMS. The standard designs incorporate M20 bolts
which should be adequate for most applications. The Engineer should check that
these bolts can accommodate the required lift and lateral loads.
5. SPECIAL BEARINGS
Bearings having larger capacities or of different dimensions than those listed can
be designed by our Technical Department.
6.1 The diagram on page 4-14 shows a Hercules Type D tank top bearing
installed on a concrete water tank. Before leaving our factory, the two
components are taped together to prevent damage to the low friction
surfaces during transit. This tape should be removed before installation.
6.3 The beam flange needs to be provided with slotted holes and two 10
diameter through holes to locate the stainless steel studs. The cast-in bolts
should be provided with a heavy steel washer, nut and locknut. The nuts
should be pulled finger tight and then locked with the locknut.
