Slider function |
| |
Sliders
support vertical loads and have low lateral
resistance. They are typically used in conjunction
with isolators and enable the designer to
optimize the performance of the isolation
system. In some applications they are placed
under lighter parts of the structure such
as stairs and lightly loaded columns. The
elastomeric backing is used to accommodate
rotations in the structure. An added benefit
of sliders is that they provide damping
from sliding friction. |

Steelwork and fasteners |
| |
Dynamic
Isolation Systems processes over 2000 tons
of steel a year. Steel mounting plates,
sole plates, anchor bolts and fasteners
are often fabricated and supplied with DIS
Isolators. |

Specialty Bearings |
| |
Dynamic
Isolation Systems designs and builds bearings
for non-seismic applications such as ship
loaders. The purpose of the bearings is
to control forces within the structure during
the off-loading of oil from tankers. |

Bridge: |
Dynamic
Isolation Systems developed
and fabricated bridge bearings
for Caltrans with increased
corrosion resistance. The bearings
are located six feet above the
waterline and were fabricated
with low permeability rubber
and stainless steel construction. |
