Elastomeric Seismic Isolators RG/ELASTOSISM

The RG/ELASTOSISM elastomeric seismic isolators are high-performance devices used to protect structures from earthquake damage.

They are composed of alternating layers of natural rubber (NR) and S235JR steel, with a central lead core, providing in a single solution seismic isolation, energy dissipation, and structural support.

Thanks to their ability to reduce the transmission of seismic forces and to re-center the structure after the event, they represent a compact and effective solution for both new buildings and seismic retrofitting projects.

The devices are designed to ensure maximum efficiency even in limited spaces, with high durability and easy maintenance.

The steel plates are fully embedded in the elastomer, providing corrosion protection and structural strength. The two outer connection plates facilitate installation, while optional anchoring plates simplify maintenance and replacement of the device.

Under normal conditions, these devices behave like standard elastomeric bearings, activating seismic protection only in the event of an earthquake.
