Neoprene Bearing Pads (MEETS AASHTO SPECIFICATIONS)

Garlock Neoprene Bearing Pads provide a uniform transfer of load from beam to substructure. They permit beam rotation at the bearing point due to deflection or misalignment. They absorb vibration and prevent sound transfer, while reducing the destructive action of vibration between movable and stationary structural members. They also provide for movement caused by normal expansion and contraction. Neoprene Bearing Pads are used extensively in bridge structures and prestressed and precast concrete buildings. Also used in industrial machinery and heavy equipment applications.

Three styles are available:

Style #256 is stocked in a 48" (1219 mm) width and is made from a high-quality neoprene. Duro-meter is 45-55 and its minimum ultimate elongation is 400%.
CUT SLABS ALSO AVAILABLE.

Style #266 is stocked in a 48" (1219 mm) width and is made from a high-quality neoprene. Duro-meter is 55-65 and its minimum ultimate elongation is 350%.
CUT SLABSALSO AVAILABLE.

Style #276 is stocked in a 48" (1219 mm) width and is made from a high-quality neoprene. Duro-meter is 65-75 and its minimum ultimate elongation is 300%.
CUT SLABS ALSO AVAILABLE.

ADDITIONAL MADE-TO-ORDER BEARING PADS AVAILABLE:
