Leveling pads are vibration isolators that prevent vibrations from being transmitted to equipment and structures and are used primarily in industrial applications.
In addition to vibration isolation, level pads can provide level adjustment and adjust levels over a wide range.
When vibrations generated by equipment are transmitted outside, such as to the floor on which the equipment is installed, it can affect the surrounding area.
The uses of leveling pads are described below.
Leveling pads can be used to prevent vibration and noise caused by vibration, in addition to ensuring the stable installation of equipment.
Leveling pads are mainly used for stable installation and vibration prevention of equipment such as presses and die-casting machines, which are subject to high vibration caused by their operation.
Leveling pads can also support machines while keeping them level, even when the floor is sloped.
The following is the principle of leveling pad.
Leveling pads are adjustable support devices that simultaneously provide vibration isolation and level adjustment.
Leveling pads consist of a base with movable screws, with vibration-absorbing rubber between the screws to absorb vibration.
First, let me explain the principle of the anti-vibration function.
The anti-vibration function is to absorb vibration through elastic anti-vibration rubber.
When installing vibrating equipment, vibration isolation is used to support the equipment using anti-vibration rubber to prevent various effects caused by vibrations from the outside to the equipment and from the equipment to the exterior. Leveling pads are calculated using a vibration isolation model representing the relationship between these forces.
The level adjustment function is then explained.
The principle of the level adjustment function lies in the moving screw part.
The freely movable threaded part allows the level to be maintained even under various conditions, such as when the floor is sloped or unlevel.
