PTFE bearing pad

PTFE bearing pad is the dimpled PTFE sheet bonded to the laminated bearing pad for structure friction coefficient reduction and displacement capacity improvement. It provides a sliding surface for expansion accommodation, the elasticity of the bearing pad is high enough to suit the rotation of beam end, and also the shear deformation is efficient to cope with the horizontal of the superstructure. Here are round and rectangular two main shapes of PTFE bearing pad introduced to you.
