Elastomeric bearings
Technical data sheet reference no.: FT En C V 3 1 1

Description
A banded bearing is a connection between a structure and
its support. Its purpose is to transmit normal loads and allow
displacement through distortion of the elastomer and rotation
through differential settlement.
A banded bearing is an elastomeric block reinforced with metal
bands bonded by vulcanising
during manufacture.
The stresses imposed by
structures often require the
installation of bearings.
Freyssinet has developed a full range of bearings with Type
C anchor plates.
Type C banded bearings can be made from neoprene
or natural rubber with a neoprene belt to European
Standard EN1337-3. Freyssinet holds CE markings
No.1777-CPD-0704 and No. 1777-CDP-0705 respectively.

TYPE C1
Chequered plates ensure adhesion to concrete structures.

Rubber bearings

Freyssinet's range of bearings is based on many years of

experience in the field of structural accessories and construction.

Operating principle
Type C bearings are used where there are facilities available
to attach the bearings to the structure or if the horizontal
loads to be transmitted are high relative to the vertical loads.
In this case, the bearings must be connected to the
structures mechanically and must therefore be fitted with
external bands bonded to the elastomeric blocks in the
bearings.

TYPE C2
The bearings are generally connected to structures by
metal lugs attached to metal plates connected in turn to
the structures using either studs or embedded sleeves.
Alternatively, the lugs can be replaced with retaining
bolts or a shear disc. In this case only the sleeve option
will be selected.

TYPE C 3
In this case the outer plates protrude beyond the bearing.
They are connected directly by sleeves inserted into the
structure using removable bolts.

Banded elastomeric bearings

Type C bearings are used for temperatures between

-40C (-25C for the neoprene version) and +50C. They
can withstand momentary temperatures of 70C without
affecting their durability.

Composition

Two thick metal bands are bonded to the surface of the

elastomeric block during manufacture of the banded
elastomeric bearings.
These bands, the thickness of which varies with the plan
dimensions of the bearing, are, as required:
Chequered and the same size as the bearing (Type C1)
Smooth and the same size as the bearing (Type C2)
Smooth and protruding (Type C3)

RECTANGULAR BEARINGS

All external bearing bands are protected against corrosion by:

An ACQPA C4ANV type epoxy resin and polyurethane
based protection system or,
Zinc-aluminium metal spraying + epoxy polyurethane
paint system.
These two protection systems comply with EN 1337-9.

CE marking
Like standard bearings, Type C banded elastomeric bearings
are also covered by CE marking in accordance with EN 1337-3.

Installation
Installation quality is a vital condition for correct operation
and long service life.
Arrangements should be made at the design stage to
provide enough space around bearings so that they can be
monitored and replaced if necessary.
Type C2 and C3 bearings can absorb upward vertical forces
under certain conditions.
This uplift force must be limited to 1 N/mm
of the bearing plane surface.
In this case these bearings will be equipped with
specially adapted and designed bushings.

Quality
The entire design and manufacturing process is covered by
ISO 9001/2000 quality certification.
