Elastomeric Bearings

Hercules Laminated Elastomeric Bearings (HLEB)

With over 40 years of expertise in bridge engineering, we offer laminated elastomeric bearing pads that are essential for ensuring structural stability in bridges and infrastructure projects. Our Hercules Laminated Elastomeric Bearings (HLEB) are designed to accommodate thermal expansion, shear, rotation, and external loads while minimising resistance. These laminated elastomeric bearings deliver unmatched durability and corrosion resistance, supporting long-term flexibility in critical infrastructure.

Manufactured using 100% virgin polyisoprene, our laminated elastomeric bearings encapsulate mild steel layers, vulcanised to provide structural integrity under heavy loads. For projects demanding low friction conditions, a PTFE layer can be integrated to facilitate vertical loads and horizontal movement.

Ensure your bridges stay strong for decades—contact us today to learn more!

Laminated elastomeric bearings ensuring structural stability in infrastructure projects

Features and Application

HLEB allows for long term structural freedom of movement at supports to accommodate high levels of thermal expansion/contraction, shear, rotation, concrete creep and other external load factors with minimum resistance. All bearings are corrosion protected and resilient against wear and tear.

Materials

Manufactured from high purity elastomers (100% virgin natural polyisoprene), which encapsulates layers of reinforcing mild steel that are vulcanized to the elastomer matrix.

  • In scenarios where very low coefficient of friction is required, a layer of PTFE (Polytetra Flouro Ethylene) can be bonded to i) the top of the bearing, or ii) recessed and attached to an intermediate steel plate to facilitate vertical loads and horizontal displacement over the stainless steel surface.

  • Installation

  • Ensure the flatness of contact surface. The bearing should be installed reasonably parallel (within ±1 mm) with the contact surface in order to maintain the integrity of the bearing's rotation capacity.
  • Ensure the contact surface is kept at a high coefficient of friction. However, it is recommended that adhesives NOT be used as failure of the adhesive could result in a smooth low-friction surface.
