The Benefits of Adjustable Levelling Feet

Learn the various ways in which Adjustable Feet aid machinery and applications

These adaptable components can help your machinery deliver optimum performance. Levelling feet are not just stilts to make your equipment taller; they can do so much more for your workplace.

Counteract uneven floors

A set of levelling feet can counterbalance the disadvantage that comes from uneven floors. If the ground in your workplace is not level, your machinery may not be working as well as it should. Thankfully there is a simple solution: use levelling feet for ground mounting to secure your unit to the floor.
In the Elesa range, you will find feet with no-slip disks to provide ultimate stability.

Protect your equipment from damage

Industrial machinery is an expensive investment, so it is important to look after it. Using levelling feet—especially a set mounted to the ground—can secure your equipment and prevent accidental tipping.

Reduce noise

Industrial machinery performs a very important job, and all that action produces noisy vibrations. At times, the sound can cause significant noise pollution. To achieve a quieter working environment, you can pick up a set of machine feet with a padded bottom. These will absorb the vibrations and reduce noise.

Cut the risk of workplace injury

Working with machinery can be dangerous as there is a risk of trips and falls. Fixing levelling feet onto your equipment can prevent these heavy unit from tipping over and causing harm. Interestingly, there is also the possibility that levelling feet can help workers avoid vibration-related injury.

How do I choose the right adjustable feet for my machinery?

Before purchasing levelling feet, you need to have two measurements to hand: the base diameter and the threaded screw size. The base is an important component as this is what supports your machinery on the ground. Selecting the right base is crucial for ensuring that it does its job in supporting and stabilising the weight it is under. The larger the base, the more stability.

You must also know which size of threaded screw you need. As well as ensuring easy attachment to your unit, the length of the screw determines how much height you can add to your machinery.

Check out the Elesa catalogue with your calculations and make the right choice first time. Measure twice and buy once!

The Elesa range of machine feet come in base diameters from 11mm to 200mm. Our threaded screws are available in sizes from M6 to M30.

For use in the medical and catering industry, we supply hygienic screws and nuts made from stainless steel and FDA-compliant rubber.

Our adjustable feet have been expertly designed to 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.
