SKS Bearing
Advantages
| Features |
Benefits |
| PTFE-to-PTFE faces |
Low coefficient of friction between sliding faces. |
| Lubrication |
Silicone grease further reduces frictional resistance. |
| Elastomeric pads |
Provision for some rotational movement & for small surface irregularities. |
| Nylon re-inforcement |
Woven nylon scrim increases load capacity (up to 2000 kN (SLS) point loads). |
| Chemical bonding |
The PTFE, scrim and rubber are polymerically bonded under heat and pressure. |
| Expanded polystyrene surround |
Facilitates in-situ pouring of superstructure concrete & locates each pad in position. |
| Waterproof top layer |
Prevents grout or wet concrete from penetrating between the core and the expanded polystyrene. |
| Supplied ready to lay |
SKS pads or strips require no additional preparation on site before laying. |
