Structural Bearings
ESPT offers design, supply, manufacturing, and installation of CE-marked European-approved spherical and POT bearings, featuring special sliding materials for temperatures up to +90 degrees Celsius.
Spherical Bearings
Spherical bearings consist of a convex spherical calotte with a sliding material that mates with a spherical sliding element. They can be combined with flat sliding elements and guides to form free and guided bearings, or with a restraining ring for fixed bearings. These bearings are ideal for structures with medium to high loads and limited installation heights, absorbing large rotations in all directions.
POT Bearings
POT bearings accommodate differential movements in various structures, especially in bridge engineering. They handle vibrations, movements, and rotations caused by earthquakes, traffic loads, or climatic conditions while protecting the structure from damage.
Suitable for transmitting vertical loads from zero to over 100,000 kN.
