SA-47 Pads
SA-47 bearing pads were originally designed for use as tie plate pads for the railroad industry. The pads provide compensation for surface irregularities and non-parallel load bearing surfaces in precast concrete and building and construction applications. The reinforced elastomeric bearing pads can also be provided with a Teflon® surface for use in expansion bearings and pipe slides. SA-47 pad is scientifically constructed to give years of service under severe operating conditions.
Associated Applications:
Building & Construction
Petroleum/Gas
Key Features/Benefits:
- Pads can withstand compressive loads up to 7,000 psi.
- Pads meet D.O.T. and federal specifications for reinforced elastomeric pads and bedding of masonry plates.
Technical Specifications:
SA-47 bearing pad is manufactured of all new (unused) materials and composed of a random distribution of synthetic fibers that are vulcanized together with an oil-impervious nitrile rubber compound.
SA-47 pad is impervious to most oils and is resistant to the effects of steam, water, mildew and brine. The effective temperature range is -65°F to 200°F.
The durometer of the Fabreeka pad is 80±10 (Shore A).
