Effects of a non-functional bearing
Effects of a non-functional bearing
(OP)
If the useful life of a bearing(say 25 years ??) is exceeded and the bearing (elastomeric bearing or a pot bearing)is not replaced,what will be the effect on the bridge ?Can you please describe the progressive effect on the bridge i.e.as the time goes by.





RE: Effects of a non-functional bearing
I am not aware of any problems with newer bearings (neoprene, PTFE, or POT bearings) that have exceeded normal service life. However, I am aware of plenty of old "rocker" bearings that are left frozen due to debris collecting such as to prevent the proper rotations.
