Disc Bearings

TechStar Disc Bearings

The TechStar ‘Disc Bearing’ solution offers a lower profile (vertical height) than typical Pot Bearings.  Even with the lower profile, Disc Bearings can provide the same load capacity and movement as Pot Bearings provide.  Another advantage that Disc Bearings has over Pot Bearings, is not relying on rubber seals to retain the elastomer, therefore offering the potential for greater service life. In the United States and all over the world, Bridge Builders are using Disc Bearings more and more.  TechStar disc bearings can be found in the States of Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, New York, Ohio, Oregon, and Rhode Island.  They can also be found in countries such as Qatar, Bangkok and India.  TechStar manufactures Disc Bearings in their facilities in the USA, Canada, Taiwan, Thailand, China and India.
