DECG - Fixed Type Pot Bearings

These bearings consist of a pot / piston assembly within which an Elastomeric disc is encapsulated and fitted with an anti-extrusion sealing device. Under load this encapsulated Elastomeric disc acts in a similar manner to a uncompressible confined fluid, enabling the pot and piston to rotate relative to each other. These bearings enable rotation in any direction while at the structure is constrained horizontally. The function of the pot and piston parts are for fixing and securing the bearings to the bridge structure.
