MIL C 882 bearing pad is the original fabric reinforced, elastomeric bearing pad. Benchmark MIL C 882 pad is used to eliminate concrete spalling by compensating for construction irregularities such as rotation and non-parallel load bearing surfaces. VIBSORB bearing pad also prevents electrolytic action between dissimilar materials in construction. The preformed bearing pads can also be provided with a Teflon® surface for use in expansion bearings and pipe slides. MIL C 882 pad is scientifically constructed to give years of service under the most severe operating conditions.

Key Features/Benefits

  • Bearing pads can withstand compressive loads perpendicular to the plane of laminations of not less than 12,000 psi before breakdown.
  • Bearing pads meet AASHTO standard specification for preformed fabric pads.
  • Bearing pads meet D.O.T. and federal specifications for preformed fabric pads and bedding of masonry plates.

Technical Specifications:

Fabric bearing pad is manufactured of all new (unused) materials and composed of multiple layers of prestressed 50/50 cotton-polyester blend duck, 8.1 ounce per net square yard, duck warp count 50 ± 1 threads per inch and filling count 40 ± 2 threads per inch, impregnated and bound with a high quality, oil-impervious nitrile rubber compound, containing rot and mildew inhibitors and anti-oxidants, compounded into resilient pads of uniform thickness.

MIL C 882 Fabric pad is impervious to most oils and is resistant to the effects of steam, water, mildew and brine. The effective temperature range is -65°F to 200°F.

The durometer of the MIL C 882 pad is 90±5 (Shore A).

MIL C 882 is manufactured in nominal thicknesses of:
