The Disktron Bearing is composed of four fundamental components; the load plates, the upper and lower bearing plates, the shear resisting mechanism (SRM) and a Polytron elastomeric disc. The Polytron disc material is a polyurethane blend conforming to AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges and tested at MCEER. The Disktron Bearing is a low profile alternative to the pot bearing and it generally has a longer service life. Bearings can also be modified for Uplift Restraint.
