Abstract: An anti-seismic device (1) for load-bearing structures or machines for example automated warehouses, comprises at least one supporting foot (3) suitable for being fixed to a load-bearing structure of the automated warehouse. The supporting foot (3) is configured for resting and sliding on a support and sliding surface (5), so as to allow relative movement of the automated warehouse with respect to the support and sliding surface (5). At least one abutment element (10) is suitable for being solidly constrained with the support and sliding surface (5). At least a spring device (12) is suitable for being interposed between the abutment element (10) and the automated warehouse. The spring device (12) is configured to generate a return action (force and/or torque) of the automated warehouse as a result of the relative movement of the automated warehouse with respect to the support and sliding surface (5). The spring device (12) has a non-linear, preferably progressive elastic characteristic.
