Brand: LSG

LCL's Spherical Bearings have been designed to be very easy to install, maintenance-free and cost-effective. The product has been successfully used in a broad range of applications which include: vehicle bridges, railway bridges and stadiums. LCL's Spherical Bearings are designed for very high vertical, horizontal and lateral loads and where large rotational structural displacements need to be accommodated. The most popular product is designed primarily for use in railway bridges and consists of a convex bronze or stainless steel base plate which is self lubricating through the incorporation of trepanned recessed reservoirs containing solid lubricants whose primary constituent is molybdenum. The concave smooth finished steel top plate slides over the base plate which allows the large rotational displacements. The bearing is designed to be maintenance free for the duration of its design life and can operate down to extremely low temperatures; as low as - 40 degrees Centigrade.
