Modular Expansion Joints, Symmetrical Design - LX


Manufactured by Goodco Z-Tech, a product of Canam Bridges Canada Inc.

The Symmetrical LX design permits travel of the support in either direction from the centerline of the modular joint. Therefore, the modular joint fits into a symmetrical blockout. This support system permits an optimum load transmission while attaining the flexibility to provide movement in three different directions.
Our modular joints have been tested in accordance with NCHRP 402 - Fatigue Test. The test results proof the durability of our modular joints.
The movement range of the modular joint is accommodated by the planned operating range of the neoprene and by the number of seals. That is, if the planned operating range of the neoprene seal is 80 mm, the LX12 achieves a movement range of 960 mm (12 x 80 mm = 960 mm ).
