Hercules Engineering Australia |
|
Manufacturers and suppliers of Hercules composite slip joints,
and the Herculon range of structural bearings.
Our range of products include:
|
Hercuslip Composite
Slipjoint
|
|
A reliable, easily applied slipjoint material
on load bearing brickwork and under concrete slabs. It is specifically
designed to centralise loads and accommodate initial shrinkage and
subsequent thermal movement.
Ideal for post-tensioned and cast in-situ slabs.
|
 |
Hercules Shearstrip
|
|
This is a reliable, economical bearing strip
under short span cast concrete slabs. Designed to centralise loads
and accomodate very small movements.
|
 |
Herculon Modified Type "B"
and Type "D" Bearing
|
|
These bearings have been developed to fulfil the need for a simple,
low friction bearing on corbels and columns where a continuous slipjoint
is inappropriate. The can be cast in-situ and post-tensioned slabs
and beams. Type "D" is used where a highly stressed bearing
is required.

Type
"D" Bearing |
|
Herculon Type "D"
Free Float Bearing
|
|
Another low friction bearing on corbels and columns where a continuous
slipjoint is inappropriate.
They can be used under
- beams and slabs
- pipes and ducts
- conveyors
- pressure vessels
- small span bridges.
|
 |
Herculon Type "D"
Sliding Guides Bearing
|
|
Used in similar situations as for free float bearings but designed
to be removable and to accept a lateral load of 30% of the vertical
rated load.

|
Herculon Type "D"
Fixed Bearing
|
|
Developed to fulfil the need for a rotation only bearing on corbels
and columns. They can be used under beams and slabs and also under
pipes, ducts, conveyors, pressure vessels and small span bridges.
These bearings are designed to be removable and to accept a lateral
load of 30% of the vertical rated load.
|
 |
Herculon Type "D"
Tanktop Bearing
|
|
An easily installed low friction bearing under roof beams of water
tanks. They are particularly useful where loads are small and both
lateral and uplift forces need to be accommodated. Can also be used
in other light structures.
