AGOM AGFLEXJ Expansion Joints
AGOM AGFLEXJ-Series
AGOM’s HIGHWAY AGFLEXJ expansion joints are designed to enable displacements of up to 330 mm with respect to the bridge decks they are fastened to. Entirely waterproof, they are secured to the structure with suitable anchor bolts. The deformable rubber elements are vulcanised with rolled steel reinforcements made up of two angular plates and a bridge plate (standard EN 10025). AGFLEXJ joints also allow displacement of the structure’s parts relative to each other in any direction.
Advantages of AGFLEXJ-Series Expansion Joints;
WATERPROOF:
AGFLEXJ joints are entirely waterproof.
EASE OF ASSEMBLY:
AGFLEXJ joints are extremely easy to fit. The joint’s elements are connected together with a male-female coupling and secured to the structure with suitable anchor bolts.
CORROSION RESISTANCE:
The steel structure is thoroughly embedded in the rubber, meaning it is protected from the atmospheric agents.
LOW NOISE:
Thanks to the special design of the rubber cover, the joint makes little noise as vehicle runs over it.
LONG SERVICE LIFE:
The special anti-abrasive rubber used to manufacture AGOM joints has been designed to withstand the action of oil, grease, petrol and ageing due to constant exposure to sunlight and changes in temperature.
INTERCHANGEABLE:
The AGFLEXJ is a particularly suitable choice for replacing existing joints.
AGOM AGLEXBJ-Series
AGOM’s AGFLEXBJ-type expansion joints are designed to enable very large displacements with respect to the bridge decks they are fastened to. Entirely waterproof, they are secured to the structure with suitable anchor bolts. The joint movement can be obtained or by deformation of rubber elements vulcanised with rolled steel reinforcements or by compression and extension of rubber bellows (see below pictures). The gap between structures is overcome by a bridge steel zinc coated plate (standard EN 10025).
Advantages of AGFLEXBJ-Series Expansion Joints;
WATERPROOF:
AGFLEXBJ joints are entirely waterproof.
EASE OF ASSEMBLY:
AGFLEXBJ joints are easy to fit. The joint’s elements are connected together with a male-female coupling and secured to the structure with suitable anchor bolts. The bridge plate is connected to the rubber mats by bolts and plugs.
CORROSION RESISTANCE:
The steel structure is thoroughly embedded in the rubber, meaning it is protected from the atmospheric agents. The bridge plate is zinc coated and the connection plugs are made of stainless steel.
LONG SERVICE LIFE:
The special anti-abrasive rubber used to manufacture AGOM joints has been designed to withstand the action of oil, grease, petrol and ageing due to constant exposure to sunlight and changes in temperature.
Quality of materials
All the expansion joints are manufactured using only first class rubber (natural or synthetic) in accordance with the main international standards. Agom can manufacture also expansion joints with dielectric rubber.
