Plain and laminated elastomeric bearings
 Description
WABO ELASTODEC E bearings are manufactured making use of materials complying with all regulations in force, in simple layers of rubber or with several layers separated by thin sheet metal. In reinforced bearings, vulcanized rubber sheets are used to protect the steel from corrosion and to convey horizontal forces from rubber to sheet metal. This steel sheet is smaller in size than bearing, in order to be encapsulated by the rubber, and their edges are finished in order to prevent cutting the rubber.
WABO ELASTODEC E bearings consist of rubber, which are possibly reinforced by sheet metal and may be rectangular or circular in shape. In case of larger movement requirement, the WABO ELASTODEC EM (free sliding), ELASTODEC EL (guided longitudinal) and ELASTODEC ET (guided transversal) bearings are put forward, that are very similar to the previous models, with the option of the addition of a PTFE layer and of a stainless steel sliding surface.
