Fixed Spherical Bearing

Gantek Fixed Spherical Bearings are a specialized structural component designed to provide rigid support in bridge and infrastructure applications. It is engineered to be immovable in all directions, effectively restraining both horizontal and vertical movements, as well as rotational displacements. This type of bearing typically consists of a steel pot housing an elastomeric disc, which behaves like an incompressible confined fluid under load, allowing for rotations while preventing any horizontal or vertical movement. The design ensures that the superstructure remains immovable, making it ideal for critical points in bridges where structural integrity must be maintained without any shifting or angular changes. Fixed Spherical Bearings are particularly suitable for applications where minimal movement is desired or where the structure requires rigid support to prevent displacement under load. They are commonly used in locations where the structural integrity must be maintained without any shifting or angular changes, such as at specific points of a bridge or other critical infrastructure. By effectively transferring vertical and horizontal loads while accommodating rotational movements, Fixed Spherical Bearings contribute to the overall stability and longevity of bridge structures
