Tension-Compression Bearing (Anti-Lift Bearing)
Design Principle
Tension-compression bearings combine the standard load-bearing and rotational features of pot or spherical bearings with the ability to handle both tensile and compressive forces.
Suitable Applications
Ideal for use in structures subjected to uplift forces, such as cable-stayed or suspension bridges, offshore platforms, and structures in seismic zones.
Quality&Features
Dual-Force Capability: Engineered to manage tensile forces (pulling apart) in addition to the compressive forces (pushing together) typical in standard bearings. Enhanced Stability: Prevents lifting or separation of the superstructure during extreme conditions, such as earthquakes or sudden loading variations. Integrated Restraints: Features additional anchorage systems or locking mechanisms for secure installation under tension-compression conditions.
