A Guide to Adjustable Feet

A selection of adjustable feet from the Elesa range

When should I use adjustable feet?

A common use for adjustable feet is to raise production machinery off the ground. These parts come with thread screws of various lengths, so you can add as much height as you need. Simple to use, they are particularly useful for objects that need frequent height adjustment. If your work environment has uneven floors, you may not be getting the best out of your machinery. Affixing adjustable feet can level off your equipment and fix shaky units. In our range, you will also find feet with no-slip disks to provide ultimate stability. While your industrial units do a great job, those pesky vibrations can become extremely irritating. Our levelling feet increase the distance between the machine and floor to reduce vibrations and noise. Made from technopolymer, an innovative material with excellent mechanical performance, Elesa machine feet will transform the way you work. They can withstand high temperatures and are easy to clean, making them suitable for a wide range of industries. In effortlessly absorbing machine tremors, adjustable feet can contribute to an efficient work environment.

How do I choose the right adjustable feet?

When it comes to machine feet, there are two parts to measure: the base diameter and the threaded screw size. Selecting the right base is crucial for ensuring that it does its job in supporting and stabilising the weight it is under. Larger bases offer a better level of stability. The thread length is also important because it determines how much height you can add to your machinery. The size of the thread also must match the hole it is being screwed into. Accurately match these specifications and you will make the right component choice first time.

The Elesa range of levelling feet come in base diameters from 25mm to 125mm, while the threaded screws are available in sizes from M6 to M30. Adjustable feet are made using different materials – mainly polymer, steel, and zinc alloy. Our adjustable feet also remain stable even when fixed at the highest point, so there is no need to worry about wobbles. If you would like extra peace of mind, you can opt for feet made for ground mounting.
