Fercanorte is the exclusive dealer of the full range of support bearings by Mekano4, whose extensive experience and numerous projects enabled to develop a wide range of support devices for bridges and structures.

 
Elastomeric Bearings
Elastomeric bearings are used in the transmission of vertical loads, allowing small rotations and displacements of the superstructure. Consist of plates of elastomeric material interspersed with steel plates, bonded by vulcanization to the elastomer.
 
Pot Bearings – Fixed

Fixed pot bearings (PF) transmit vertical and horizontal loads between the deck and the pillars. These supports allow any rotations of the superstructure, but prevent all longitudinal or transverse displacements.

 
Pot Bearings – Guided
Guided pot bearings (PG) transmit horizontal and vertical loads (the latter as long as perpendicular to the support guide) between the deck and the pillars. These supports allow any rotations of the superstructure, but only allow the displacement in one direction (usually longitudinal).
 
 
Pot Bearings – Multidirectional

Multidirectional pot bearings (PM) transmit only vertical loads between the deck and the pillars, allowing rotation and any displacement of the superstructure.
