These bearings consists of one or more rollers of steel along with a rocker arrangement which permits a longitudinal and rotational movement. Raw materials for MS bearings are tested for IS:226 or IS:2062 Grade B. Properties such as brinell hardness, proper hardening of contact surface and correct smoothness and curvature and obtained with strict attention to quality control. Each bearing is also tested to 125% of capacity load.

These bearings offer an economical solution where elastomeric bearings are unable to accommodate high horizontal movement at low reactions on the supporting columns. They can be bonded to elastomer pad to accommodate rotation. In these type of bearings linear movement is provided by sliding of stainless steel plate over PTFE sheet. To overcome high friction in steel sliding bearings, PTFE is used to provided translation about the axis perpendicular to the plane of sliding
