Rubber joints - Import export

Railway expansion joint rail with water-proof and dielectric characteristics suitable to absorb longitudinal movements of the decks from 100 to 450 mm and vertical deformations up to ± 50 mm. This type of joint is designed to prevent the ballast penetration in the gap or in any active part of the joint. The RFI-approved series (built according to instruction 44/e) is for displacements from I 00 to 250 mm. Consisting of: • CNR 10018/85-compliant reinforced rubber dielectric modular pads consisting of a central bridging plate and two side elements; • mechanical anchoring system consisting of threaded bars fixed with epoxy resin; • stainless steel protection and sliding plates; • hypalon gutter; • side draining slats for under-ballast infiltration waters; • epoxy mortar transition strip between the joint and the binder. To complete the Beta railway joint the sidewalk and ballast joint is available, consisting of: • reinforced dielectric rubber flange: flat for the sidewalk and shaped fo

Original RAN P expansion joint suitable to absorb displacements of the decks up to 1000 (mm) as well as relative rotations between consecutive slab heads and their relative movements both in the vertical and transverse direction consisting of: • CNR 10018/85-compliant modular reinforced rubber pads consisting of a central bridging plate and two side bellows equipped with anti-lift bar, free to move along stainless steel plates, assembled in situ; • mechanical anchoring system consisting of threaded bars or, as an alternative, multidirectional clamps and anchor rods, depending on site requirements; • stainless steel gutter; • "L"-shaped stainless steel profile for under pavement waters drainage; • epoxy mortar strips connecting the joint elements and the bituminous pavement.

TYPES: BETA

These joints are normally made up of an elastomeric structure in which, by a curing process or other technological process, metal profiles are inserted to change, at set points, the stiffness or bearing capacity of the elastomeric structure. There are two main sub-groups depending on the mechanism which is used to obtain the expansion/shrinkage capacity of the joint, namely: by elastic deformation, with shear stress, of appropriately prepared suitable elastomeric areas; by elastic deformation of the elastomeric profiles the designed geometry of which is changed by normally flexural stresses. A characteristic of this type of joints is the presence, at the level of the congested surface, of a series of transverse gaps required for the development of the necessary elastic deformations.

They permit displacements and rotations between abutted structural parts, ensuring continuity of the carriageway and watertightness. They come in a wide range of formats, each format having a certain movement range to accommodate, with only the types of materials used remaining constant. Based on a design of reinforced rubber modular elements, FIP INDUSTRIALE expansion joints offer the following advantages: simple installation simple and cost-effective inspections and maintenance minimal noise and vibration ultimate comfort for passengers in transit smooth running surface optimum functioning and durability of all components minimal interference with the structure format easily adjusted to many shapes to accommodate layout of structure and design engineers' preference several different types of anchorage to suit customer requirement.
