Laminated Elastomeric Bearings:

• Consists of a number of Elastomer Layers sandwiched between mild steel laminates.
• Reinforcement of Steel laminate in between elastomer layers provides Load bearing capacity especially the Horizontal forces.
• Translational and Rotational requirements are fulfilled by internal deflection.
• The Elastomeric Bearings can be used in combination with PTFE sliding assemblies. 

Plain Pad or Strip Bearings:

• Un reinforced and typically not more than 25 mm thick.
