Adjustable feet, or adjustable levelling feet, are essential tool levelling devices ideal for various applications in distinct settings requiring material levelling. For example, if you have an uneven deck, it will be uncomfortable to type on your keyboard, affecting productivity, and you will need levelling feet. Similarly, these items allow easy operation by providing surface levelling while carving wood or cutting metal. The adjustable levelling feet come in various thread sizes ranging from M8 to M24 and have the capability to withstand heavy loads. Furthermore, they feature varied tilt angles and come in a variety of types. Additionally, they are extremely strong and made from durable materials, which makes them perfect for heavy-duty applications.
Key Benefits of Adjustable Feet
Adjustable levelling feet provide a vast range of benefits, such as:
- Ideal for various applications with different height adjustments.
- Available in various sizes, diameters, and feet styles in the UK.
- Capable of holding heavy loads up to 5,000 kg.
- Made from sturdy materials for added strength.
- Lightweight with extended service life.
- Economical and easy to use.
Adjustable Feet Materials
Levelling feet are constructed from highly robust materials for excellent load capacity and an extended life span. The levelling feet's base materials include steel, stainless steel, nickel-plated steel, and zinc-plated steel. On the other hand, materials for feet include:
- Steel
- Stainless steel
- Natural Rubber
- Powder coated
- Polyamide
- PA Reinforced Nylon.
Types of Adjustable Leveling Feet
Levelling adjustable feet come in various types, such as:
- Threaded – These highly vibration-tolerant levelling feet feature a spindle with threaded feet and a rigid base.
- Metric-Threaded – They come in assorted sizes with threading rods suitable for manufacturing and metalworking applications.
- Stud Leveling Feet – These leveling feet feature a socket mount variation in stud levelling feet capable of holding heavy loads in types of machinery, such as milling, conveyors, and lathes. They allow different swivelling features and are made from stainless steel for heavy-duty applications.
- Studless Leveling Feet – Such leveling feet are excellent sources for static applications by functioning as furniture leg levellers like workbenches. They endure maximum loads with their flat base width.
- Jig Leveling Feet – Jig operations require levelled surfaces, where these levelling feet are used to achieve exact uniformity. They are constructed from steel and suit medium-duty applications. The adjustable feet are available with fixed levelling feet for general uses, articulating leveling feet allowing a different degree of deviation, and tilting levelling feet that feature joints between the thread and bases for varied articulation degrees.
- Metric Tapped Leveling Feet – feature a hex component, a ball, and a threaded shaft with metric threading. The metric threading differentiates it from tapped mounts and offers a 15-degree swivel. They are finished with either zinc, chrome, or black oxide plating.
