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. 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. In Elastofip (EM) free sliding bearing types and Guided sliding Elastofip (EU/EU*) longitudinal/transversal bearings, on the contrary, the mutual sliding of plane surfaces, one of stainless steel and the oth

Sferopol ® structural bearings are spherical hinges in which the rotations about any horizontal axis are ensured by the sliding of a convex steel element in a monolithic concave element coated in SMF special sliding material, consisting of UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), which is resistant to wear and tear and significantly extends the life of the bearings and the structure. In addition to compressive loads, Sferopol® bearings are capable of transferring forces and/or permit sliding in one or more directions of the horizontal plane depending on the different bearing types. In movable bearing types, the mutual sliding of two plane surfaces, one of stainless steel and the other of SMF, ensures the bearing's translation movements.
