The Uplift Spherical Bearing consists of a pair of matching concave and convex steel spherical backing plates with a low friction sliding interface in between thereby permitting rotation by in-curve sliding. Uplift restraint bearings are specially designed to restraint uplift forces in the structure. For the purpose of resisting uplift forces, the bearings may be combined with stopeers, bolts & cover plates. For the purpose of providing the movement ability, the bearings may be combined with flat sliding elements, guides and restraining rings.

Spherical Uplift Free sliding bearing:

  • Bears Vertical Load, Horizontal Load & Uplift load
  • Allows sliding movement in all directions.
  • Allows Rotation in all direction.

Spherical Uplift Guided bearing:

  • Bears Vertical Load, Horizontal Load & Uplift load.
  • Allows sliding movement in one direction.
  • Allows Rotation in all direction.

Spherical Uplift Fixed bearing:

  • Bears Vertical Load, Horizontal Load & Uplift load
  • Allows Rotation in all direction.
