Pot Bridge Bearings

Pot bridge bearings are structural components designed to support large
vertical loads while accommodating limited rotational and horizontal movements
in bridges and heavy structures. Comprising a steel pot, an elastomeric disc,
and a piston, these bearings transfer vertical loads through confined
elastomeric compression while allowing rotational movement due to the
deformation of the elastomeric disc. Pot bridge bearings are widely used in
highway bridges, railway bridges, and other infrastructure where high vertical
load capacity, durability, and minimal maintenance are required. Their robust
design ensures stable performance under heavy loads and temperature variations,
making them ideal for long-span bridges and structures requiring reliable load
distribution and movement accommodation.
