Pin Bearing

Pin Bearings are structural bearings designed to support vertical loads while allowing rotation around a single axis. They consist of a steel pin placed between two plates, enabling rotational movement similar to a hinge. These bearings are commonly used in older bridges or specific applications where unidirectional rotation is required. Pin bearings are simple in design, robust in construction, and capable of handling high loads. However, they do not allow horizontal movement. They are ideal for fixed supports where controlled rotation is necessary without lateral displacement. Made from high-grade steel, they offer long-term durability. Pin bearings are often used in conjunction with rocker or roller bearings. They require regular inspection and maintenance due to potential wear at the contact surfaces. Available in customized sizes to suit various structural needs.
