Bridge Bearings

Rocker & Roller Bearing Manufacturers

Rocker and roller bearings are used in bridges to support heavy loads while allowing for movement caused by factors like thermal expansion, contraction, and traffic. They are commonly found in long-span railway bridges, with rocker bearings typically used at the fixed end and rocker/roller combinations at the free end of the structure. This setup provides the necessary flexibility to accommodate large vertical loads and significant horizontal and rotational movements, ensuring the bridge’s structural integrity over time
