Calenberg Compact Bearings S 70 Are Used In All Areas Of Construction As Permanently Elastic Articulating Connection Elements. In Building Construction They Are Mostly Used As Point Bearings For Providing Elastic Support For Beams And Joists. In Multi-Storey Buildings They Are Also Used As Strip Bearings Under Deck Structures And On Wall Sections.

Prevention of structural damage
Permanent loads (e.g. inherent weight of the structure), variable influences (e.g. wind) and constraining forces (e.g. from temperature changes, creep, component tolerances or settlements) result in deformations of structural components. Without the use of suitable elastomeric bearings, these impacts mentioned will cause damage to structures. In addition to cracks and spalling, there can also be large-scale destruction of the adjacent components, which need to be repaired at considerable expense in terms of time and cost.
In component connections, the elastic effect of the structural bearings transfers forces centrically and at the same time compensates for plane-parallel deviations. Shear deformations from non-permanent horizontal effects are absorbed by the elastomer bearings.
