- Elastomer bearings are devices placed between two elements in a bridge structure. Elastomeric bearings support vertical loads with minimal compression, ensuring the transmission of loads from one element to the other.
- Effective and economical, elastomer bearings are commonly used in modern bridge bearing. They are mostly used in the construction of large span bridges and in the buildings industry. Elastomer bearings are manufactured and designed based on specifications and standards laid down by organizations such as European Norms En 1337, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and British Standards.
- An elastomer bearing contains various components such as elastomer, steel plates, and rubber. The internal structure of elastomer bearings comprises a sandwich of mild steel shims and rubber, molded as one unit.
- The global elastomer bearings market is projected to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to increased demand for elastomer bearings in the construction industry to make bridge structures that act as a supporting surface between a deck and bridge pier or beam.
Covid impact on industry -
COVID-19 pandemic has shut-down the production of various products in elastomer bearing market , mainly owing to the prolonged lockdown in major global countries. This has hampered the growth of elastomer bearing market significantly from last few months, as is likely to continue during 2020.
COVID-19 has already affected the sales of equipment and machinery in the first quarter of 2020 and is likely to cause a negative impact on the market growth throughout the year.
The major demand for equipment and machinery was previously noticed from giant manufacturing countries including the U.S., Germany, Italy, the UK, and China, which is badly affected by the spread of coronavirus, thereby halting the demand for equipment and machinery.
Further, potential impact of the lockdown is currently vague and financial recovery of companies is totally based on its cash reserves. Equipment and machinery companies can afford a full lockdown only for a few months, after which the players would have to modify their investment plans.
Equipment and machinery manufacturers must focus on protecting their workforce, operations, and supply chains to respond toward immediate crises and find new ways of working after COVID-19
