Mageba pot bearings are well engineered structural support components designed for bridges and large buildings to manage movement and rotation while supporting heavy loads. These advanced bearings are engineered to handle vertical, horizontal, and rotational forces, ensuring stability and sustainable performance. Known for their precision engineering, Mageba pot bearings offer exceptional durability, minimal maintenance, and reliable performance even in extreme conditions.  For infrastructure projects globally, these Mageba pot bearings help to reduce structural stress and enhance safety.

Materials

The following high-quality materials are used in the manufacture of RESTON ®POT bearings:

• Steel parts of grade S355 steel
• Elastomeric pad of natural rubber
• Sealing chain of POM
• Certified PTFE with grease dimples
• Certified silicone grease as lubricant
• Sliding sheet of polished, certified austenitic stainless steel (grade 1.4404)
• Sliding strips of 3-layer CMI material (DUB)
• Corrosion protection according to environmental conditions and customer requirements

Types

RESTON®POT bearings are designated TF, TE or TA depending on their ability to accommodate sliding movements:

• TF: “Fixed” – The bearing resists horizontal forces in every direction, allowing no sliding movements

• TE: “Guided sliding” – The bearing allows sliding movements along one horizontal axis, and resists forces in a perpendicular direction

• TA: “Free sliding” – The bearing allows horizontal sliding movements in all directions, transmitting no external horizontal forces
