    RJW Spherical Bearings consist of concave and convex plates with a PTFE and stainless steel sliding surface. They are used in bridges and civil structures to accommodate thermal, seismic, and mechanical movement. Key features include accommodating large rotations, high vertical loads with little displacement, custom designs for specified structure requirements, and use of PTFE to reduce forces transmitted to the structure during movement. RJW can provide bearing designs based on specifications for items like load types and amounts, required movement distances, and attachment details to super- and substructures.

    DATA SHEET

    RJW SPHERICAL BEARING


    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION FEATURES con’t

    RJW Spherical Bearings consist of a concave RJ Watson Spherical Bearings are designed,
    bearing plate, a convex mating plate, an upper fabricated, tested and inspected to meet ASTM,
    sole plate and a lower masonry plate. Sliding AASHTO or other standards detailed in the
    surfaces consist of bonded PTFE mated to structural plans and specifications.
    highly polished stainless steel.

    USES

    RJW Spherical Bearings are used to accommo-


    date thermal, seismic and mechanical expan-
    sion and contraction and also provide multi-
    directional rotation for highway bridges, railway
    bridges and other civil engineering structures

    FEATURES

    RJ Watson Spherical Bearings accommodate


    large rotations.
    Metro North Railroad over US Route 1
    RJ Watson Spherical Bearings can be designed Darien, Connecticut - Connecticut DOT
    to accommodate high vertical loads with virtu-
    ally no vertical displacement.

    RJ Watson Spherical Bearings can be designed


    using either woven PTFE or sheet PTFE depend-
    ing on the properties required.

    RJ Watson Spherical Bearings use a PTFE to


    Polished Stainless Steel sliding surface to
    accommodate movements with low forces
    transmitted to the structure.

    RJ Watson Spherical Bearings are all custom


    engineered to provide the most efficient design
    to meet the specified requirements of the North Arm Bridge, Vancouver, BC Canada
    structure.
