CON-SERV offers other types of designs; consult Engineering Department personnel for design assistance. CON-SERV can supply full friction and proof-load testing on all pot & disc bearing designs.
Standard Design Criteria:
- Steel Type – A588 (Y.P. = 50 KSI)
- Rotation Capacity - .02 radians
- Maximum Pressure on Elastomer – 3500 psi for pots to 5000 psi for discs
- Coefficient of friction - .03
- Lateral Load Capacity – 10% of Vertical (unless noted otherwise) Load (Fixed and Guided) – Maximum for Standard Design
- Movement ± 1” – Maximum for Standard Design

N/A For a complete guide specification, please consult engineering department. All Pot Bearings can be designed and fabricated to meet the current AASHTO Code requirements. |
N/A The bearings indicated may be welded into the structure or, if required, a leveling plate may be added with anchor bolts and grout for concrete installation. |
N/A The bearings may be finished per the job specifications. Painting is preferred over hot-dip galvanizing since hot dipping introduces distortion. |
