Product catalog summary
Product Characteristics & Benefits
TENSA®GRIP expansion joints, specifically types RS and RS-LS, are designed for robust performance in bridges with heavy traffic. They consist of steel edge profiles and a replaceable elastomeric seal, suitable for both asphalted and concreted surfaces. These joints can handle movements up to 80 mm, extendable to 200 mm with special profiles. The RS-LS type includes 'sinus plates' to reduce noise by up to 80% and increase movement capacity to 100 mm.

Types and Specifications
There are several types of TENSA®GRIP joints:
  • RS-B: For concreted roads, anchored by horizontal studs.
  • RS-LS: Features noise-reducing sinus plates, allowing 100 mm movement.
  • RS-A: For asphalted roads with surfacing thicknesses between 50 and 300 mm, includes flanges for waterproofing membrane connection.
Materials used include S235 steel for edge profiles and EPDM or CR for sealing profiles. Corrosion protection follows ISO 12944 standards.

Noise Reduction and Watertightness
The sinus plates not only reduce noise but also ensure continuous contact with vehicle wheels, enhancing safety for motorcycles and bicycles. The joints are 100% watertight, with replaceable sealing profiles to prevent water passage.

Installation and Quality Assurance
Pre-assembled in the factory, the joints are installed on-site with precise positioning and anchorage. mageba ensures high quality through ISO 9001:2008 certification and regular inspections by independent bodies. The system has national approvals in several countries.
