Fabreeka offers many types of slide/expansion bearings, depending on your application. All Fabreeka slide bearings are supplied with an upper and lower unit. Incorporating our Fabreeka® pad to take up adverse rotation, Fabreeka SBX structural expansion bearings are the most resilient of our line of slide bearings and used when construction tolerances, high load, and rotation are prominent with beam spans being excessive. Typical applications include bridges and complex structures where vortex shedding and seismic conditions are prevalent.

Fabreeka STX expansion bearings comprise stainless steel upper unit and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) lower unit. The STX bearing has an extremely low coefficient of friction, which is exceptional for use where expansion is large. Typical applications include pedestrian bridges, parking garages, small buildings, tanks, vessels, pipelines, and slip and expansion joints.

Fabreeka TTX expansion bearings comprise PTFE upper and lower units. The TTX bearing has a higher coefficient of friction than the STX bearing and is used where expansion criterion is limited. Typical applications include tanks, vessels, and slip and expansion joints.
