NEOARM BEARINGS
DESCRIPTION
CERTIFICATIONS
FIP MEC is proud to be the first Italian manufacturer of structural bearings, anti-seismic devices and expansion
joints boasting a Quality Assurance System certified at the highest level - from design to customer service
assistance. Certification has been achieved via rigorous evaluation by an internationally recognized Third Party
Organisation, thus internationally validating the quality assurance system. FIP MEC designs and manufactures
its devices in accordance with the most widely adopted and stringent international specifications: EN, AASHTO,
CNR, British Standards, DIN, NF. Moreover, FIP Industriale meets the most recent requirements by supplying
bearings and anti-seismic devices with CE marking.
The certification ISO 9001 guarantees that the same quality level is kept from the design stage through
manufacture to installation.
FIP Industriale quality system is also certified to perform welding activities in accordance with EN ISO 3834-2
and DIN 18800-7.
PRODUCT
The Neoarm series is a line of reinforced elastomer structural bearings made up of an elastomer pad inside
which several layers of hot-vulcanised steel laminates are inserted with the purpose of minimising the swelling
and slipping of rubber under loads. Steel reinforcing plates do not need corrosion protection as they are fully
vulcanised into rubber.
The Neoarm bearings represent a kind of special device between the fixed and free sliding type of bearings as
they permit translations in all planar directions, but at the same time produce horizontal reactions proportional
to the translations. Rotations around any horizontal axis are permitted by the deformation of the rubber.
These bearings of simple construction and lightweight are easy to install, very resistant to atmospheric agents
and maintenance-free.
2
The Neoarm bearings, which can be rectangular or
circular in shape, are classified by their dimensions,
the number of steel laminates and the thickness of the
internal rubber layers (standard external layers are 2.5
mm thick).
If upper and lower surfaces are not parallel, (i.e. there is a longitudinal slope in the superstructure) a suitable
wedge plate is to be vulcanised on the upper part of the pad to match the slope. In this case the elastomer
bearing becomes a no standard bearing.
The bearings in catalogue are designed according to European standard EN 1337-3, where they are classified
as type B, considering 60±5 Sh/A hardness and a rotation of 0.01 radians about a horizontal axis (direction of
longer dimension if rectangular).
In following tables bearings are classified according to their typology (circular, rectangulars), their geometric
and physic characteristics and maximum vertical loads depending on displacements.
Bearing code in table overleaf shows bearing dimensions. Other dimensions can be realised upon request.
