Spherical Transverse Guide Bearing

About Spherical Guided Transverse Bearing

Spherical Guided Transverse Bearings allow rotation in all directions and sliding only in the transverse axis. Designed for curved or skewed bridges, they control lateral expansion while blocking longitudinal shift. With a spherical calotte and guided sliding surface, these bearings ensure stability, durability, and reliable performance under dynamic loads. Made from corrosion-resistant materials and tested to IRC standards.

Spherical Transverse Guide Bearing

Spherical Guided Transverse Bearings are similar in function to the longitudinal type, but they allow horizontal movement only in the transverse direction. These bearings consist of a spherical rotation mechanism and a guided sliding surface for controlled transverse motion. This design is suitable for curved or skewed bridges where transverse expansion or alignment correction is necessary. The guiding system ensures stability by preventing movement in the longitudinal direction. Built from corrosion-resistant and high-strength materials, these bearings are tested and certified to perform under varying load and climatic conditions. They offer low maintenance and high reliability.
