Spherical Longitudinal Guide Bearing

Spherical Guided Longitudinal Bearings are designed to support vertical loads, allow rotation about any axis, and permit horizontal movement only in the longitudinal direction. In accordance with As per IRC:83 these bearings comprise a spherical calotte for rotation and a guided PTFE-stainless steel sliding mechanism for linear movement. A mechanical guide restricts lateral displacement while enabling longitudinal expansion or contraction due to thermal effects. These bearings are ideal for bridges with controlled thermal movement along the span. The robust design ensures long service life with minimal maintenance. Precision manufacturing and material quality meet IRC standards for load capacity, rotation, and movement.
