NEXCO specifications expansion device new product born! Obtaining NEXCO certification!

New product NEXCO certified | CF-20 | NCF type | 3LII-150 | 3LII-160 |

To adopt our products on the expressway (NEXCO), it is necessary to obtain certification in accordance with NEXCO's guidelines. Our lineup for NEXCO has traditionally included the CF type (expansion amounts of 30, 50, and 80mm) and the 3LII type (expansion amounts of 200, 250, 300, and 350mm). However, there was a gap between 80mm and 200mm, making it difficult to provide good proposals for projects requiring an expansion amount of 100mm. To address this demand, we developed the NCF-100 with an expansion amount of 100mm, and the 3LII-150 and 3LII-160 with expansion amounts of 150mm and 160mm, respectively. Additionally, we developed the CF-20 with a compact design and an expansion amount of 20mm, as well as the NCF type that can handle snow compaction. We are pleased to announce that these new products have received new certification from NEXCO. It is worth noting that the expansion amounts of 150mm and 160mm are close because the order documents may specify those exact expansion amounts. Please feel free to request materials or contact us at the timing of your product consideration before bidding or after winning the bid.

Expandable device [Hybrid Joint] 3LIIA type

[NETIS Registered Product] Supports large expansion (200-600mm) and wide spacing (up to 1230mm). Contributes to the longevity of bridges and reduces lifecycle costs.

The Hybrid Joint 3LIIA type has a vertical integrated structure for the load support and anchor plate sections, making it highly durable and preventing damage from metal fatigue. A fatigue loading test conducted using actual products by a third-party organization confirmed a service life of 100 years, demonstrating durability for 100 years. This 100-year durability aligns with the design service life of bridges. Unlike conventional products that require replacement of expansion devices 3 to 4 times, this product can be used without any replacements, significantly reducing lifecycle costs. By using steel plates vertically, the exposed parts are minimized, resulting in very low impact during operation, and making it less likely to generate noise and vibration. It is a product capable of accommodating large expansion and wide spans, and it is one of the largest products in the category of rubber-based joints (a general term for products other than finger joints and embedded joints). The main differences from the NEXCO specification 3LII type are that the secondary waterproofing material is not standard equipment (but can be installed separately) and that the painting specifications differ. The durability and the waterproof structure of the main body are equivalent to the NEXCO specifications.

What is a bridge expansion device? Features of hybrid joints [Free materials available]

What is an expansion device? The roles and required functions in bridges and highways - The eight major features that hybrid joints fulfill.

A bridge expansion device is something that is installed in the gaps (expansion gaps) between the bridge abutment and the bridge girder, or between bridge girders. When designing a bridge, it is necessary to create expansion gaps to prevent the bridge girders from colliding with the bridge abutments or with each other due to thermal expansion and contraction. To cover these gaps and ensure safe passage for vehicles and pedestrians, a bridge expansion device is required. The role of the expansion device is to fill the gaps, but it is not sufficient for it to only fulfill that function. Consideration must be given to the safe passage of vehicles and economic aspects, and specifically, the following functions are highlighted: [Functions Generally Required of Expansion Devices] - No noise during travel - No impact during travel - Long-term usability - No leakage under the girder - Easy installation - Simple and cost-effective maintenance - Low cost of the device itself Our hybrid joint has eight major features that meet the required functions: - Compatible with small bridges to long-span bridges - Usable for all types of bridges - Ultra-low noise and comfortable travel - Long-term durability and maintenance-free - High water-tightness - Safe and easy installation - Replaceable - Economical

Hybrid Joint NS-LL Type: A Stretchable Device with Excellent Water Stopping Properties

The adhesion between the steel plate and rubber was confirmed to have no delamination in the tensile test!

The Hybrid Joint NS-LL type is manufactured using the press vulcanization bonding technology, which is also used in the production of bearings. Regarding the bonding part, it has been confirmed through a tensile test by the Chemical Substance Evaluation Research Organization that the failure mode was material failure rather than cohesive failure, meaning there was no delamination. This indicates that the steel plate and rubber are bonded very strongly, making it a product with excellent water-tightness. In addition to the strong adhesive force between the rubber and the steel plate, the structure is designed so that the water-stopping rubber does not come into direct contact with the tires of passing vehicles, making it less prone to wear. The range of products available includes both small and large items, accommodating expansion amounts from 20mm to 175mm and a maximum applicable slab gap of 395mm. **Features** - High water-tightness - Steel vertical tooth shape - One-lane assembly product ~~ We are currently seeking agents! Agents from the Tohoku and Hokuriku regions are very welcome! Of course, we also accommodate companies from other regions! ~~ For more details, please contact us or request a catalog.
