ADJUSTABLE POT BEARINGS

​​Adjustable Pot Bearing

​

• A spring & damper device for buildings, bridges, wind turbines, and other structures

• Supports permanent heavy loads, enables tilting and small axial movement

• Configurations:  tuned, semi-active, active 

• Standard sizes (soon)

• Patented device

​​

​​Applications​

​

Construction & Infrastructure:

• Buildings/bridges/structures close to railway tracks:  StruFlex adjustable pot bearings isolate high frequency ground borne vibration, by functioning as adjustable (or gar) springs

• Slender buildings/structures:  StruFlex adjustable pot bearings damp wind-induced vibrations, by functioning as viscous dampers

• Slender buildings:  StruFlex adjustable pot bearings can function as rocking isolators during a strong seismic motion, by being linked to each other during the strong seismic motion.

​​​​

Renewables / Heavy machinery:

• Wind turbines:  StruFlex adjustable pot bearings damp wind-induced vibrations for prolonging lifespan, for reducing noise levels, and for enabling scaling-up, by functioning as viscous dampers

• Heavy machines e.g. off-shore oil rigs:  StruFlex adjustablepot bearings damp wave & wind-induced vibrations, by functioning as viscous dampers
