- **Caution**: 

### Q: What are the main benefits of using leveling feet on industrial machinery?
**A**: Leveling feet provide precise alignment, reduce vibration transfer, prevent uneven wear on machine components, and ensure operational stability for consistent manufacturing quality.

### Q: How do I choose between rubber and polyurethane vibration pads?
**A**: Rubber pads offer excellent vibration isolation and noise reduction for general applications, while polyurethane provides higher load capacity, better chemical resistance, and durability in harsh environments.

### Q: Can these leveling feet be adjusted after installation?
**A**: Yes, most industrial leveling feet feature adjustment bolts and locking nuts that allow for precise height calibration and re-leveling as needed without removing the machinery.
