Laxmi Rubber Industries

• Fine finish
• Durable
• High elasticity

• Usage: It under-goes no marked stiffening at low temperature when the thermal contraction of the bridge deck is at maximum

Rubber Bearing consists of alternating laminations of thin rubber layers and steel plates , bonded together to provide vertical rigidity and horizontal flexibility. Vertical rigidity assures the isolator will support the weight of the structure, while horizontal flexibility converts destructive horizontal shaking into gentle movement.
Rubber Bearings are used not only for propeller shaft but for cutter shaft head of dredging vessels. Besides the above ,Rubber Bearings are applied for vertical pump shafts.

Our bearings are used on various vessels such as cargo boats, ferry boat, tug boats, pusher boats, navy ships, fishing boats with approvals from LR,ABs, BV,NV, CR, NK respectively.

Recently the demands for Rubber Bearings are increasing in place of Lignum Vitae on account of a sharp rise in price and abnormal abrasion of Lignum Vitae. Our bearings with quality rubber do not damage the shaft sleeve and offer smooth rotation of the shaft over a long period of time.

here are several different similar types of bridge bearings that include neoprene bearing pads, neoprene bridge bearings, laminated elastomeric bearings and seismic isolators, which are all generally referred to as bridge bearing pads in the construction industry.

They are designed and manufactured based on standards and specifications of such organizations

• Electrical Insulating Mat
• Bridge Bearing Pad
• Industrial Rubber Gasket
• Neoprene and EPDM rubber
• Expansion Joint Filler Board
• Cork Sheet
• Shockproof Mat

• 10 KN is equivalent to 1MT.
• Design load of the bearing is equivalent to 10 M Pa.
• Shear modulus of the bearing shall be between 0.8 & 1.2 M Pa.
• Ultimate compressive strength of the bearing shall be more than 60 M Pa.
• Dimension can also be designed as per requirements.
