How to use adjustable feet

What to use adjustable feet for

Adjustable feet can also be used on equipment to reduce sliding, tipping, vibration, and general wear and tear. Not only does this make your work environment safer, but it also extends the life of your machine to save money in the long run. When choosing levelling feet, you must consider the needs of your work environment. You may require mountable, heavy-duty, or other types of adjustable feet. Below we will explain how to make the best choice.

Assembling and installing adjustable feet

Adjustable feet come with a threaded screw, of which we provide many sizes. These solid stems are made from quality steel to ensure your equipment remains safe and secure.
To install levelling feet, use the threaded screw to affix the components to your machine. Once the thread is securely fitted, you can adjust the height of the levelling feet by loosening or tightening the threaded shaft.

Types of adjustable feet

Alongside standard machine feet, we provide components with additional features to meet your needs.

Adjustable feet for ground mounting
Our mountable levelling feet feature special knurling on the lower lip of the base to allow it to stand flush against the floor. For simple affixing to the ground, the feet come with two pre-drilled holes at 180˚. The holes are covered by a removable diaphragm to protect the base from debris of dust and dirt when the feet are not mounted.

Adjustable feet with no-slip properties
There will be situations where mounting machinery to the ground is not suitable, but it is still imperative that your equipment remains safe and stable. For these purposes, we provide levelling feet finished with no-slip disks.

We have performed thorough tests of separation to ensure that our no-slip levelling feet deliver the required support for your equipment. Our specially designed disks provide a perfect anchoring which prevents separation even during transportation.
