Component Specifications

Definition
Leveling feet are mechanical components installed at the base of precision balance machines to provide height adjustment and compensate for surface irregularities. They consist of a threaded stud, mounting plate, and adjustable foot that can be rotated to raise or lower the machine, ensuring perfect horizontal alignment critical for accurate weighing measurements. These components absorb vibrations, prevent machine rocking, and maintain consistent contact with the floor surface.
Working Principle
Leveling feet operate through a threaded mechanism where rotating the foot changes its vertical position relative to the machine base. The threaded stud engages with a fixed nut or mounting plate, allowing precise height adjustments typically ranging from 10-50mm. Once adjusted to achieve perfect leveling (verified with a spirit level), a locking nut secures the position to prevent unintended movement during operation.
Materials
Stainless steel (AISI 304/316) for corrosion resistance, carbon steel with zinc plating, or engineered polymers (POM/Delrin) for vibration damping. Rubber or polyurethane pads provide floor protection and anti-slip properties.

  • Base Diameter 40-80mm
  • Load Capacity 50-200kg per foot
  • Mounting Type Threaded stud, weld plate, or bolt-on
  • Adjustment Range 15-40mm
Standards
ISO 9001, DIN 580, ISO/IEC 17025

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should leveling feet be checked on precision balances?

Leveling should be verified monthly or whenever the balance is moved, using a spirit level. Regular checks prevent measurement drift caused by subtle settling or floor changes.

Can leveling feet reduce vibration in sensitive weighing applications?

Yes, feet with integrated rubber or polymer damping elements absorb floor vibrations and isolate the balance from environmental disturbances, improving measurement stability.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
