SK Bearings

Despite being established for 60 years and attending several times over the years, 2022 will be the first time that SK Bearings have exhibited at the Bridges conference. We are looking forward to meeting existing customers and making new connections within the industry. Our tried and tested range of elastomeric bearing products are versatile, economical and easy to install making them the ideal solution for many bridges and buildings. As well as the standard Type B laminated elastomeric we also offer Type C bearings that are manufactured with upper and lower vulcanized steel plates that can be drilled and tapped to accept fixings, providing positive fixity into the structure. To summarise the benefits of laminated elastomeric bearings are as follows: • Low to medium vertical load capacity • Low to medium shear translation capacity • Low to medium rotational capacity • 120 years design life • Low maintenance requirements • Compact and simple design • Easy to install • Full EN1337 – 3 Compliance As well as bearing manufacture, we can also provide in house shear and compressive stiffness testing. All testing is undertaken at our Cambridge based manufacturing facility. The testing is carried out by one of our senior engineers and full test reports are provided upon completion. If you have any queries regarding laminated elastomeric bearings or any of the products or services that we can provide, we would be delighted to speak to you on stand B13 during the exhibition or alternatively our email and telephone details are available on our website.
