MIN ELASTOMERIC BEARINGS

The application of elastomeric bearings in supporting the bridge structure

and accommodating the lateral movement and rotation has achieved wideacceptance over the last 70 years.

In contrast to other mechanical devices such as bearings of rollers, slidingand knuckle types, elastomeric bearings are cost effective, easier to installand require no maintenance.

MIN elastomeric bearings have been successfully installed in numeroushighway projects in Malaysia and other countries. Notable examples are the

supply of laminated bearings to North South Highway projects, 13.5 KMLong PenangBridge in Malaysia and BishanDepot of the mass RapidTransit project in Singapore.

MIN elastomeric bearingsdesigned, manufactured and

tested in accordance with BS5400 Section 9.

These bearings are marketedunder the product codes.

HS Elastomeric BearingStrip.

This catalogue presents our range of HS bearings with their performancecharacteristics. They cover a wide range of loads and movements. If thesebearings do not meet your specific requirements, we will be pleased tostudy your inquiries and recommend alternative bearings of suitabledimensional construction.

DESIGN CONSIDERATION

MIN Elastomeric Bearings are calculated using the followingproperties :-

Shear Modulus, G = 0.9 N/mm2

Bulk Modulus, E = 2000 N/mm2

Hardness, IRHD = 60

Material = Natural Rubber

The loadings are based on Serviceability Limit State as stipulated inBS 5400 Section 9.1 Clause 10.1.4 with the assumption of the Dead

Load Effect being numerically equal to Live Load Effect.

The Part Numberof each

bearing in this catalogue identifiesthe construction as shown in theexample below :-

1 HS/9

1 HS = MIN Code

/9 = Thickness of rubber layer

(mm).

QUALITY CONTROL AND TESTINGAll MIN Elastomeric Bearings are subjected to stringent in-housequality control and assurance procedures comparable to internationalstandards.

They are constantly checked at every stages of its manufacturingprocess on a regular in-house basis. In addition, all raw material arechecked at source for compliance with our specifications.

We have testing facilities in our factory to evaluate the compressivestiffness and shear stiffness performance of bearing products as well asmaterial properties tests as per BS5400 Section 9. Laminated bearingsare subject to quick production test to inspect for imperfections due to

misplaced metal plates and inadequate elastomer to metal bonding.
