MAURER Isolators enable an effective separation of constructions from the subsurface. Serious damages due to earthquakes can therefore be avoided. MAURER Isolators are constructed to perfectly meet the following four basic requirements: carrying vertical loads, horizontal displacement capacity, horizontal recentring and effective energy dissipation.
MAURER Elastomeric Bearings are similar to conventional construction bearings and feature a good recentring capability at horizontal deviation. To meet specific requirements of customers and business partners, MAURER can provide elastomeric mixtures with either low (LDRB) or high (HDRB) damping.
MAURER Lead Rubber Bearings are conventional elastomeric bearings that are combined with an integrated lead cylinder. While the main functions of usual elastomeric bearings are bearing and reset, the lead core enables efficient energy dissipation. MAURER Lead Rubber Bearings are mainly used in bridges and superstructures.
MAURER Sliding Isolation Pendulum Bearings combine the outstanding features of spherical bearings with the recentring effect according to the pendulum principle. This effect is achieved by using a curved main sliding surface. When friction occurs on the sliding surface, energy is directly dissipated in the sliding isolation pendulum bearing. Using the sliding material MSM® – lubricated and unlubricated – customers can choose from a wide range of friction coefficients. MAURER Sliding Isolation Pendulum Bearings meet all requirements on sliding bearings during usage according to the standards.
MAURER Sliding Bearings are structural bearings with particular dissipation properties. Using the sliding material MSM® – lubricated and unlubricated – customers can choose from a wide range of friction coefficients. MAURER Sliding Bearings meet all requirements for sliding bearings during usage according to the standards. The special MAURER Rocker Sliding Bearings are particularly suited as isolators in building construction.
