6.1.2.2.2 Type values
| Type | Description | 
|---|---|
CYLINDRICAL
 | 
 The bearing functionality is provided by cylinder in a concave cylinder.  | 
DISK
 | 
 A disk bearing consist of an elastomeric disc between two metal plates.  | 
ELASTOMERIC
 | 
 A pad bearing which carries vertical load by contact stresses between a sheet of sliding material and a mating surface that permits movements by sliding and accommodates rotation by deformation of the elastomer.  | 
GUIDE
 | 
 A bearing that ensures that the structure maintains the correct location or expansion/contraction path and takes no vertical load. Includes also restraint bearings.  | 
POT
 | 
 A bearing which carries vertical load by compression of an (elastomeric) disc confined in a (steel) cylinder and which accommodates rotations by deformations of the disc.  | 
ROCKER
 | 
 The bearing functionality is provided by a rocker construction. Includes line rocker and point rocker bearings.  | 
ROLLER
 | 
 The bearing functionality is provided by one or more rollers that are placed between two plates.  | 
SPHERICAL
 | 
 The bearing functionality is provided by convex dome in a concave basin.  | 
USERDEFINED
 | 
 User-defined bearing element.  | 
NOTDEFINED
 | 
 Undefined bearing element.  |
