EN 1337-5 is the European Standard for structural pot bearings used to support bridges and similar structures while allowing controlled rotation. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What EN 1337-5 Covers
It sets the design and manufacturing requirements for pot bearings, including the load and performance verification that confirms they carry service loads.
How the Test Is Run
A pot bearing or its components are loaded on a high-capacity machine to verify load capacity and behaviour against the requirements.
Why It Matters
Verified bearing performance underpins bridge safety and movement control; very high force capacity and suitable fixturing are essential.
