Structural Expansion or Slide Bearings
SBX:
SBX Structural Expansion Bearings are used when construction tolerances, high load, and rotation are prominent with beam spans being excessive. This bearing is the most resilient in our full line of expansion bearings. Typical applications:
STX:
STX Expansion Bearings are used when construction tolerances, loads, and rotation are moderate. This bearing has an extremely low coefficient of friction, which is exceptional for use where expansion is large. Please note: Fabreeka® can supply various types of Teflon, based on customer requirements.
Typical applications:
TTX:
TTX Expansion Bearings are used when construction tolerances, loads, and rotation are moderate. This bearing has a higher coefficient of friction than the STX Bearing and is used where the expansion criterion is limited.
Typical applications:
GGX:
GGX Expansion Bearings are used when the temperature is a factor - over 275°F. Graphite is a versatile engineered material with an unusual combination of physical, electrical, and chemical properties. These bearings are ideal for hostile environments where other types of materials may break down due to acids, solvents, and high temperatures. The GGX Expansion Bearings achieve effective performance in environments where temperatures range from -50°F to 700°F.
Typical applications:
Fabreeka structural expansion bearings, or slide bearings, accommodate thermal expansion and structural rotation in buildings, bridges, and pipe supports. Fabreeka designs and manufactures several types of expansion bearings for a wide range of applications, including Teflon® bridge bearing pads. The expansion bearings are supplied as an upper and lower unit prepared to be tack or stitch welded in the field.
Fabreeka SBX type expansion bearings are used when construction tolerances, high load, and rotation are prominent with beam spans being excessive. This bearing is the most resilient in our full line of expansion bearings.
STX-type slide bearings are used when construction tolerances and loads are moderate. This bearing has a very low coefficient of friction which is exceptional for use where expansion is large.
TTX-type slide bearings are used as well when construction tolerances and loads are moderate. This bearing has a higher coefficient of friction than the STX Bearing and is used where the expansion criterion is limited.
Fabreeka slide bearings can be made with holes and slots, if required, to allow for the mechanical attachment of expansion units to steel structures or for anchoring to concrete structures.
Fabreeka also offers GGX-type expansion bearings made with graphite to achieve effective performance in high-temperature environments.
