CE marked, steel assemblies that contain elastomeric isolation bearings along with other features such as; levelling plates, fail-safes, and/or load spreading elements. Farrat bearing assemblies can also incorporate disproportionate collapse and horizontal load restraint measures such as acoustically isolated vertical ties and lateral restraints.
Bearing assemblies play a crucial role in mitigating vibrations in buildings.
These are used to support and isolate various building components, such as floors, ceilings, and equipment, from vibrations caused by external sources or internal machinery. We offer a range of types of bearing assemblies used for vibration control in buildings.
Bearing Assembly Features
Levelling plates to assist a fast and accurate installation
Our Levelling Plates incorporate levelling screws to enable faster and more accurate installation. Steel support plates may be an essential requirement to ensure an even load distribution from the bearing into the reinforced concrete supporting structure, especially for small contact areas such as at the top or bottom of columns.
Fail-safes
Where fail-safes are required in the design these can be provided with or without levelling screws and can also be combined with vertical ties and other features as necessary. Fail-safes allow the entire assembly to be delivered as one complete unit with lifting eyes for fast off-loading, distribution and installation.
