Dear Valued Buyer,
Welcome to Hengshui Ruibin New Materials LLC – your reliable manufacturing partner for high-performance seismic isolation bearings. Since 2019, we have dedicated ourselves to producing Seismic Laminated PTFE Rubber Bearings that safeguard highway bridges against earthquake damage and dynamic loads. With a factory spanning 1,000–3,000 square meters and a skilled team of 101–200 employees, we combine advanced production techniques with rigorous quality control under ISO 9001 certification. Our products are exported to over 10 regions including North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, and are trusted by highway engineers worldwide for their durability, low maintenance, and cost-effectiveness.
Our Seismic Laminated PTFE Rubber Bearing is engineered for superior performance in highway engineering applications. It features a unique layered structure of rubber and steel plates, topped with a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) sliding surface that minimizes friction and accommodates thermal expansion, contraction, and seismic movements. This bearing combines the benefits of elastomeric damping with the low-friction sliding capability of PTFE, making it ideal for bridges in seismic zones. Below we present the key features, technical specifications, and advantages that set our product apart.
Key Features & Technical Advantages
- Laminated Elastomeric Design – Alternating layers of high-quality natural rubber and steel plates provide high vertical load capacity while allowing horizontal flexibility for seismic energy dissipation.
- PTFE Sliding Surface – A low-friction PTFE sheet bonded to the top plate reduces horizontal force transfer, protecting the bridge substructure from excessive shear stress.
- High Damping Capacity – The rubber compound offers excellent energy absorption, reducing the amplitude of seismic vibrations transmitted to the bridge deck.
- Durability & Weather Resistance – UV-resistant rubber compounds and anti-corrosion steel plates extend service life beyond 50 years under normal conditions.
- Customizable Dimensions – We offer bearings in a wide range of sizes, load capacities, and displacement requirements to suit specific bridge designs.
- Easy Installation – Pre-assembled units with anchor holes and leveling plates simplify on-site placement and alignment.
Technical Specifications (Typical Values)
| Parameter | Value Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vertical Load Capacity | 1,000 – 50,000 kN | Customizable per bridge design |
| Max Horizontal Displacement | ±50 mm to ±200 mm | Larger displacement available on request |
| Friction Coefficient (PTFE/SS) | ≤ 0.03 | At design load, dry condition |
| Damping Ratio | 10% – 15% | Equivalent viscous damping |
| Shear Modulus (G) | 0.8 – 1.2 MPa | Depending on rubber hardness |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +60°C | Special compounds for extreme cold |
| Design Life | ≥ 50 years | Under normal service conditions |
Benefits for Your Highway Project
- Enhanced Seismic Safety – The combination of energy dissipation through rubber hysteresis and sliding isolation reduces seismic forces by up to 60% compared to conventional bearings.
- Low Maintenance – The PTFE sliding interface requires no lubrication and resists corrosion, minimizing inspection and replacement costs over the bridge’s lifetime.
- Cost-Effective Installation – Pre-assembled units with standard anchor patterns reduce labor time and installation errors, speeding up project timelines.
- Compatibility with Existing Structures – Available in multiple shapes (rectangular, circular, custom) and with optional shear keys or uplift restraint devices to match specific bridge requirements.
- Global Compliance – Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management system, meeting international standards for bridge bearings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between a standard laminated rubber bearing and a PTFE laminated bearing?
A: A standard laminated rubber bearing provides only shear flexibility, while a PTFE laminated bearing adds a low-friction sliding surface that allows the bridge to undergo larger horizontal displacements with minimal horizontal force transfer, making it more suitable for seismic isolation.
Q2: Can the bearing accommodate rotational movements in addition to horizontal displacement?
A: Yes, the laminated rubber layers allow some rotation about all axes, while the PTFE surface accommodates large translation. The combined design provides multi-directional flexibility.
Q3: What is the typical service life of this bearing, and how is it maintained?
A: Under normal conditions, the service life exceeds 50 years. The bearing requires minimal maintenance – periodic visual inspection for rubber surface condition and checking of anchor bolts is recommended.
Q4: Do you offer custom sizes or load capacities?
A: Absolutely. We can customize the plan dimensions, thickness, number of rubber layers, and PTFE area to meet your specific load and displacement requirements. Please provide your bridge design parameters.
Q5: How does the bearing perform in very cold climates?
A: Our standard rubber compound is suitable for temperatures down to -40°C. For extreme cold (below -40°C), we offer special low-temperature resistant rubber compounds to maintain flexibility.
Q6: What kind of quality testing do you perform on the bearings?
A: We conduct 100% dimensional inspection, rubber hardness and tensile tests, bond strength tests, compression stiffness and shear modulus tests, and friction coefficient verification. Each bearing is tested according to ISO 9001 procedures.
Q7: Can you provide installation guidance or technical support for overseas projects?
A: Yes, we offer detailed installation manuals, videos, and remote technical support. For large projects, we can also arrange on-site supervision by our engineers (subject to agreement).
Q8: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) and lead time?
A: MOQ is typically 10 pieces for standard sizes. Lead time ranges from 15 to 30 days depending on order quantity and customization. We can accommodate urgent orders with expedited production.
