Laminated Bearings

 

The addition of internal steel plates (or laminates) increases the vertical load bearing capacity and the amount of horizontal deflection which can be accommodated by the bearing device.

 

Laminated Bearing assemblies are molded to any shape or size. The internal steel plates are vulcanize-bonded to alternating layers of elastomer during the molding process. Laminated bearing assemblies may also be manufactured with top and/or bottom steel load plates which are also vulcanized.
