These are structural bearings consisting of an elastomeric core in which one or more steel laminates are inserted, hot vulcanized to the rubber. The presence of the laminates determines a vertical (axial) stiffening effect and the simultaneous reduction in the rubber swelling. Curing has two purposes: one is to convey the rubber tangential actions to the laminate and the other is to ensure the protection of steel against corrosion. Reinforced elastomeric bearings Fixed Elastofip (EF) bearings are a cross between the fixed and free sliding type of bearings, as they permit deformations in all planar directions, but at the same time produce elastic reactions proportional to the deformations. Rotations around any one axis are permitted by the rubber deformability. These bearings are divided into two types: WITHOUT MECHANICAL ANCHORS Neoarm bearings

These joints are normally made up of an elastomeric structure in which, by a curing process or other technological process, metal profiles are inserted to change, at set points, the stiffness or bearing capacity of the elastomeric structure. There are two main sub-groups depending on the mechanism which is used to obtain the expansion/shrinkage capacity of the joint, namely: by elastic deformation, with shear stress, of appropriately prepared suitable elastomeric areas; by elastic deformation of the elastomeric profiles the designed geometry of which is changed by normally flexural stresses. A characteristic of this type of joints is the presence, at the level of the congested surface, of a series of transverse gaps required for the development of the necessary elastic deformations.

The Neoarm series includes structural bearings of reinforced elastomer, consisting of an elastomeric block in which steel laminates hot vulcanized to the rubber are inserted on multiple laminates, with the main purpose of minimizing the swelling and slipping of the rubber under load. Neoarm structural bearings in general are used if the span of the beam does not exceed 20 m, if rotations are not extreme, if displacements are small and horizontal thrusts are limited. Nevertheless, they are sometimes made in large dimensions. By vulcanizing a wedge-shaped steel plate to the upper surface of the rubber, it is possible to install this type of bearing under beams of considerable slope. Notes: Even if elastomeric bearings are designed to consider shear movements, they should not be used to oppose permanent resistance against an external shear force applied on a constant basis. This means, for example, that they should be placed horizontally on the plane even if the deck is sloping. Please

The Elastofip series includes reinforced elastomeric structural bearings, equipped on top and bottom with mechanical anchors. These are structural bearings consisting of an elastomeric core in which one or more steel laminates are inserted, hot vulcanized to the rubber. The presence of the laminates determines a vertical (axial) stiffening effect and the simultaneous reduction in the rubber swelling. Curing has two purposes: one is to convey the rubber tangential actions to the laminate and the other is to ensure the protection of steel against corrosion.
