6.7BPXP Load Bearing Pads

Load Bearing Pads are made of fully cured masticated fiber-reinforced rubber made from a proprietary blend of virgin and recycled rubber.

During the manufacturing process, synthetic fibers are added to the base rubber compounds to create an internal stiffening, much like reinforced concrete. This mesh structure delivers enhanced tensile, compressive strength, stiffness, tear resistance, durability, and superior ozone and weather resistance.

Recommended for:

Standard construction applications such as precast and pre-stressed concrete bridges, structural steel-bearing applications, as well as for machinery foundations, railway tie pads, shock vibration isolation, and shock reduction.

Load and Bridge bearing pads can be made from different elastomeric material types. Commonly used type of materials are Bridge Bearing Neoprene or Bridge Bearing Natural Rubber. Desired thickness of the pad can be reaced by laminating few layers of the elastomer or combining rubber and metal plate during the bonding process. Steel reinforced bearing pads are more common for bridge construction due to their excessive comression and elangation strength and long lasting performance. Vibrasystems Inc Load Bridge Bearing Pads are tested per AASHTO international standards.
