Structural bearings mageba structural bearings – versatile, strong and long-lasting 1 Support you can depend on Bridge bearings transfer forces from the bridge deck to its support pillars or abutments. They can be designed as fixed, guided sliding or free sliding, to suit the movement requirements of the bridge deck. Wide range of high-quality bearings mageba offers many types of bearing to satisfy bridge-specific requirements: Pot bearings, spherical bearings, elastomeric bearings, horizontal force bearings, ­ linear rocker bearings, lifting and measuring bearings, pendulum bearings, incremental...

Expansion joints mageba expansion joints – for lasting driver comfort Ensuring a smooth driving surface Expansion joints play a vital role on almost any bridge, because the bridge deck moves as a result of temperature and other influences. The movement gap at each end of the bridge deck must be bridged with a flat and even driving surface: the expansion joint. As bridge technology improves, and the spans of new bridges continue to increase, the demands on bridge expansion joints also increase. Wide and well-proven range mageba supplies a wide range of expansion joint types, including single gap...

Seismic protection mageba seismic devices – damping, absorbing and protecting Growing demand for seismic protection Bridges and other structures can be subjected to extreme movements and vibrations during an earthquake. This can cause a structure to fail if suitable protection has not been detailed. The demand for seismic protection features, especially for key buildings and transportation routes, continues to grow strongly. Protecting bridges and buildings In addition to supplying infrastructure and building products, mageba also specialises in reliable solutions for the protection of structures....
