Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The TENSA®FINGER Type RSFD expansion joints by mageba are designed for bridges with heavy traffic and accommodate movements between 60 mm and 500 mm. They feature robust steel edge profiles with strong anchor loops, ensuring excellent fatigue resistance. The joints are suitable for both asphalted and concreted road surfaces.

Key Features and Benefits
  • Noise Reduction: The cantilevering fingers avoid a straight transverse gap, reducing noise emissions and enhancing driver comfort.
  • Surface Profiling: Optional 2mm-deep surface patterns improve vehicle wheel grip, enhancing traffic safety.
  • Drainage Channel: A watertight drainage channel beneath the joint facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance.
  • Shuttering Plates: These provide support during concrete pouring and serve as a connection surface for the drainage channel.
  • Durability: High-quality materials and corrosion protection ensure a long service life.

Material Properties and Dimensions
The joints are made from high-quality materials such as S235 and S355 steel for edge profiles and finger plates, and EPDM, soft PVC, or stainless steel for the drainage channel. Corrosion protection is applied according to ISO 12944 or national standards.

Types and Specifications
  • RSFD-A: Designed for asphalt connections with surfacing thicknesses between 50 and 250 mm.
  • RSFD-B: Suitable for concrete connections, featuring fatigue-tested loop anchorages.

Quality Assurance
mageba's quality system is ISO 9001:2008 certified, with regular inspections by independent institutes. The joints have undergone extensive testing, including dynamic fatigue tests, and have received national approvals in various countries.

Installation and Related Products
The joints are pre-assembled and installed by mageba technicians. Related products include ROBO®DUR for strengthening, ROBO®CISILENT for noise reduction, ROBO®GRIP for anti-skid protection, and STATIFLEX® for enhancing joint durability.

Expansion joints Product characteristics & benefits Principle The mageba TENSA®FINGER RSFD cantilever finger joint has proven itself for use in bridges with heavy traffic loading and for movements between 60 mm and 500 mm. The joint’s robust steel edge profiles have strong anchor loops for concreting to the main structure, resulting in excellent fatigue resistance. The cantilevering finger plates are connected to the steel profiles by pre-tensioned friction-grip bolts. Beneath the finger plates, a watertight drainage channel, which is dimensioned to facilitate all joint movements, is connected...
