- Complete structures
should not rest entirely on SKS (sliding) Bearings without some
form of restraint. This may be provided by SKR (resilient) Bearings
located centrally or at one end (for details, click the Elastomeric
button).
- When placed between steel or
precast surfaces, the bearings are supplied without waterproof
backing paper. The product code is altered to signify this by
inserting NW ie SKS(NW) -1- etc.
- Bearings can be supplied with
holes & slots but it is very important that our Technical
Design Department is made aware of this requirement since the
load-carrying capacity of a bearing is significantly lowered
by the inclusion of holes & slots.
- With strip type bearings, there
are a number of individual bearing units which are equidistant
per metre run.
- All point load and strip SKS
bearings are supplied ready assembled with a polystyrene surround
and waterproof paper on their top face. The dimensions of the
filler can be made to suit the support size.
- If the bearing is to be sited
close to heavy machinery or other such sources of vibration,
it is essential that our Design Department is made aware of the
details to ensure the bearing's function will not be disrupted
by such factors.
