Herculon Type D Fixed Bearings (HLD/FX)
Type 'D' Steel Bearings
Herculon Type D Fixed (HLD/FX) Bearings
Herculon Type D Fixed (HLD/FX) Bearings have been developed to fulfil the need for a rotation only bearing on corbels and columns. They can be used under beams and slabs and also under pipes, ducts, conveyors, pressure vessels and small span bridges. These bearings are designed to be removable and to accept a lateral load of 30% of the vertical rated load.
Materials
Consists of a mild steel top plate bonded to a fixed Hercupad, which in turn is bonded to a mild steel base plate. Two shear pins are provided to transfer the lateral loads.
Design
Maximum contact stress 10 MPa.
Maximum rotation up to 0.02 radians.
Maximum temperature 80°C.
*Higher temperatures can be accommodated by thermally insulating the bearings or by using high temperature materials. Please contact our Technical Department for further information.
Installation
In Concrete Structures
HLD/FX bearing should be installed in a concrete structure as shown in Fig 3-12.
