Sandwich Bearing Q

Use and areas of application

Calenberg Sandwich bearing Q is used in all areas of construction as permanently elastic articulating connection elements. The elastomeric bearing is used for highly stressed components.

Approval no. Z-16.33-480, issued by DIBt Berlin

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.
