Sliding- and bearing technology

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document outlines the specifications and guidelines for elastomer bearings used in construction, focusing on supporting structural elements like girders and beams. It covers non-reinforced and reinforced elastomer bearings, slide bearings, and core stripe bearings.
Non-Reinforced Elastomer Bearings:
  • Types N 15 and N 20: Suitable for compressions up to 15 N/mm² and 20 N/mm², respectively, these bearings are designed for static loads, allowing controlled load distribution and movement.
  • Type NEG: Ideal for low surface loads with larger displacement clearances, featuring low friction and high stability.
Reinforced Elastomer Slide Bearings:
  • Type B1EG: Designed for high surface loads with larger displacement clearances, compliant with DIN 4141 and EN 1337-3 standards.
Core Stripe Bearings:
  • Type TDG 27 SZ: Used for ceiling or flat roof support, preventing shear cracks and edge compressions.
  • Type TD 21 S: Suitable for fixed point formation or floor ceiling support, accommodating length changes and twisting angles.
Specifications and Standards: All bearings have a General Construction Supervision Certificate and adhere to DIN standards, with detailed design tables and load specifications provided.
Key Considerations:
  • Non-reinforced bearings are recommended for static loads, while reinforced bearings are preferred for dynamic loads.
  • Proper installation and adherence to dimensions and load limits are crucial for stability and performance.
Core Material Specifications: Core thickness and width are specified for different torsion values, with details on force and material strength. Specifications include top-coated core stripe fixed bearings for load centring and deformation control.
Sliding Foil Specifications: Sliding foils are used to reduce forces from shrinkage, creep, and thermal elongation, with different types specified for various applications.
Foundation Supports: Sliding foil TG 5 POM is used for compressions up to 10 N/mm², suitable for heavy loads in foundation areas.
Sound Damping Bearings: SD-ribbed bearings reduce impact noise significantly, achieving up to 31 dB reduction at optimal pressure loads.
Installation Instructions: Proper installation is crucial, with specific instructions for different bearings and sliding foils, emphasizing smooth, levelled bedding surfaces.
General Recommendations: Ensure surfaces are prepared, components aligned, and protective layers used to compensate for unevenness.
Steel-Reinforced Elastomer Bearings: Compliant with DIN EN 1337-3, these bearings are designed for secure, maintenance-free support of bridges, compensating for deviations and displacements.
Types of Bearings: Various types are outlined, each designed for specific load and displacement conditions, with customization options available.
Quality and Certification: Leschuplast GLT bearings are CE-certified, produced under strict quality control, ensuring compliance with standards.
Design and Production Flexibility: Bearings can be customized in dimensions and shapes, allowing for low response forces and adherence to design requirements.
Incremental Launching Method: Highlighted as an efficient alternative for bridge construction, utilizing Leschuplast GLT bearings for controlled load transfer.
Specifications: The Schuplast GLT type BSL-SF is a steel-reinforced elastomer bearing with a maximum width of 1000 mm, available in various thicknesses and pressure capacities.
Standards and Certification: Bearings comply with EN 1337-3 standards, marked with CE certification and relevant technical information.
Product Range: The company offers a variety of products including waterstops, joint tubes, and sound damping bearings.
General Information: The brochure provides product descriptions and recommendations, advising contact with the technical department for specific queries.

Elastomer bearing, non reinforced, Supporting girders, beams, trusses etc. Non reinforced elastomer bearings according to bearing class 2 are only allowed to be used, if the component of continuous load is more or equal 75 %. If it is lower, or in all cases, where too high loads or a defect of the bearing could result in a lack of stability, we recommend to use steel reinforced elastomer bearings. Adjacent components should be stressed only marginally by restoring forces and -moments in bearing class 2. Stress perpendicular to the bearing plane (surface load) According to the test criteria for...
