POT Bearings

Product Description

We manufacture POT BEARINGS- including fixed pot bearings, sliding guided pot bearings and free sliding pot bearing for the first time in South India at our plant in Hyderabad. Pot Bearing design is based on calculation of IRC: 83 (Part III)-2002.The basic elements of a Pot Bearing consists of a shallow cylinder, known as pot, an elastomeric pad known as disc, a single or set of sealing rings, piston and sliding surfaces. Masonry plates and base plates are common for the installation of pot bearings, as they allow attachment of the bearings and increase the support area on the pier and abutment. Pot bearings are fixed against all translation unless they are used with a PTFE sliding surface.Pot and Piston: The Pot bearings are always manufactured from Structural Carbon steel and pistons from Stainless Steel. The sealing rings are brass rings are the most critical component of a pot bearings.Elastomeric Disc: In Pot bearings vertical load is carried through piston of pot bearing and is resisted by elastomeric pad. The pad is deformable but almost incompressible. The Pads in in practical usage expert shear stiffness.External Protective Rubber Dust SealsWe offer external dust proof protective seals on all of our pot bearings, resisting entry of debris like dirt, water, etc which can damage elastomeric pad and brass sealing rings, providing substantial benefits.Types of Pot Bearings manufactured by usFixed pot bearings.Guided Sliding pot bearings.Free Sliding pot bearings.Advantages of Pot bearingsPot bearings are usually recommended when bearing rotations are large, compact designs and long term serviceability are requiredPot bearings provides longer service life compared to elastomeric bearings.Smaller in size compared to elastomeric bearings.Longer maintenance time.Pot bearings can sustain many cycles of very small and large rotations. Economical repair as replacement of elastomer disc onlyDoes not get effected by external atmospheric correction.Additional fixtures for Pot Bearings.We also offer additional fixtures for installation of pot bearings like temporary bearings, ptfe sliding bearings, studs, base plates, masonry plates with welded studs etc and will be happy your complete requirements.
