Structural bearings mageba structural bearings – mastering loads and movements RESTON®POT LIFT-CONTROL lifting and measuring bearings cleverly developed, safe, internationally approved

Structural bearings Principle and functions Principle Lifting function mageba RESTON®POT LIFT-CONTROL lifting and measuring bearings (with European Technical Approval ETA-11/0453) are based in their design on the RESTON®POT bearing, and have the following functions: RESTON®POT LIFT-CONTROL lifting bearings feature a pre-installed needle valve in the pot. A hydraulic pump can be connected to the valve and used to inject special silicone rubber, activating the lifting function. The injected material forms a new layer beneath the bearing’s elastomeric pad. This raises the pad, and thus also the...

Structural bearings Applications and benefits Ground settlements Replacement of bridge bearings Structures on slopes and in areas with poor ground conditions may be at risk of ground settlements. If such a structure is supported by conventional bearings, the compensation of such settlements requires lifting of the structure to insert packing plates and a great deal of effort. RESTON®POT LIFT-CONTROL bearings are designed to themselves lift the superstructure by the required amount, without the need for additional hydraulic jacks. Their integrated load measuring capability can also be used to...

Structural bearings Quality and support Quality Over the past five decades, mageba has supplied over 50,000 structural bearings for projects all around the world. The quality and durability of mageba bearings is thus ensured not only by their well-proven product properties, but also by the extensive experience of our personnel. The dimensions of RESTON®POT LIFT-CONTROL bearings are roughly equivalent to those of standard mageba RESTON®POT bearings, but with increased height. The lifting capacity can be specified to suit needs. In most circumstances, a capacity of +25 mm is adequate. In such a...
