SPECIFIER’S CHECKLIST<\/h3>\n

Recognising the difference between a bearing that will do its job safely and reliably over the life-span of a building and one which does not can make a very significant difference – by avoiding the expense of remedial work and in some cases, legal proceedings.<\/p>\n

Superficially, a perfectly good bearing may look no different from one which will fail in service. So here, we provide a brief guide to ensuring that the bearings selected will perform as intended.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Has the rubber compound been formulated specifically for use as a structural or bridge bearing?<\/li>\n
  2. Are there any defects in the bond between elastomer and steel reinforcement plate (or PTFE surface)?<\/li>\n
  3. Are components chemically bonded under heat and pressure?<\/li>\n
  4. Has the moulding process resulted in an even cure?<\/li>\n
  5. Do the materials meet or exceed British Standards?<\/li>\n
  6. Does the manufacturer apply rigorous standards to materials, manufacture and quality control?<\/li>\n
  7. Does the manufacturer offer customers the choice of seeing the products tested before they leave the factory?<\/li>\n
  8. Does the manufacturer offer to check the products are suitable for the purpose specified, without charge?<\/li>\n
  9. Does the manufacturer provide free technical and field support?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    At SK Bearings we have always believed that cutting corners on structural and bridge bearings is a false economy. The idea is not a new one – as Shakespeare noted in the Merchant of Venice, ‘The sweetness of low price is long outlasted by the bitterness of poor quality’.<\/p>\n

    This is why SK Bearings is philosophically committed to the highest standards in design, selecting materials, manufacturing, technical expertise and quality control. SK Bearings come with reliability and quality built-in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
