Finger Bridge Expansion Joint | Steel Finger Plate Joint for Highway & Railway Bridges
Our finger bridge expansion joint (also known as finger plate joint / comb plate joint) is a high-performance bridge deck expansion device, designed to accommodate large structural displacement caused by temperature changes, vehicle loads, and seismic activity. It is widely used in highway bridges, high-speed railway bridges, urban viaducts, and long-span bridge projects worldwide.
1.Key Features
- Large Displacement Capacity: Suitable for bridge displacement ranges from 80mm to 1200mm, ideal for long-span and heavy-load bridges.
- Smooth Traffic Performance: The interlocking steel finger structure ensures a flat driving surface, reducing vehicle impact and noise.
- Durable Steel Structure: Made of high-strength Q355B/ASTM A572 Grade 50 steel, with hot-dip galvanizing or epoxy coating for corrosion resistance.
- Easy Installation & Maintenance: Modular design simplifies on-site installation, and replaceable parts reduce long-term maintenance costs.
- Reliable Sealing System: Equipped with EPDM rubber sealing strips to prevent water leakage and debris intrusion, protecting the bridge substructure.
