The Benefits Of Using Equipment Legs On Machines

When installing machines in the workplace, you may want to use equipment legs. Also known as leveling pads, these otherwise small and simple accessories offer some major benefits. You can install a set of equipment legs on the bottom of most machines. Once installed, they'll help to level the machines. What are the benefits of using equipment legs on machines exactly?

Protects machines from damage
Equipment legs can protect machines from damage. Different types of machines can sustain damage in different ways. Nonetheless, most types of machines can sustain damage when tipped over. If a machine is placed on an uneven floor or surface, it may tip over. While you can always move the machine to a level surface, another option is to use equipment legs so that it doesn't tip over.

Fully adjustable
Equipment legs are fully adjustable. In other words, you can make them shorter or taller so that they provide a level surface for the machines with which they are used. If a machine is placed on an uneven surface, you can make the equipment legs on one side of the machine shorter than the equipment legs on the other side of the machine. Regardless, you can rest assured knowing that equipment legs are fully adjustable.

Reduces noise
Another benefit of using equipment legs on machines is noise reduction. Noise is the result of vibrations. Machines, of course, typically produce vibrations during use. These vibrations can travel through the ground or surface on which they are placed, resulting in noise that echoes throughout the workplace. For a quieter workplace, you should consider using equipment legs.

Lowers risk of injury
You might be surprised to learn that equipment legs can lower the risk of injury. Machines can cause bodily injury when tipped over. Alternatively, they can contribute to vibration-related injuries. Equipment legs will both prevent machines from being tipped over while also absorbing vibrations. The end result is a safer workplace.

How Do You Measure Equipment Legs

Outlined below are the important parts to consider when measuring your adjustable furniture or table feet.
Base diameter

The base diameter is essential for stabilising and supporting the weight of the object. The larger the base, the better the level of stabilisation. To find the base diameter of the foot, you should measure the size across the base as labelled in the diagram.
Thread length

Thread length is important for the height adjustment and installation of feet. A longer thread will provide more upwards height than a shorter one. The thread length of an adjustable foot is often the distance between the stud and bolt. The stud is the part labelled "thread size". The bolt is the section where the thread joins the base.
Thread size

Thread size is a key factor for supporting the weight of an object. It is also important for thread compatibility, as the thread must match the type that it is being screwed into. To find the metric thread size of a foot, you should start by measuring the diameter across the thread. This can be done by putting the ruler against the stud of the adjustable foot and taking the measurement in millimeters.

How to Use Equipment Legs

Equipment legs offer a simple and effective leveling solution for machinery, appliances, furniture and other freestanding objects. Like all leveling feet, they consist of height-adjustable pads. You can place a set of equipment legs on the bottom of an object. You can then adjust the height of the equipment legs so that the object is level.
There are other types of leveling feet available, such as tapped. Tapped leveling feet are used for the same purpose of leveling objects. Rather than a threaded stud, though, they feature a threaded hole. Equipment legs feature a threaded stud, whereas tapped leveling feet feature a threaded hole. If you're going to buy a set of equipment legs, you'll need to know how to use them.

Insert at the bottom of the object
Equipment legs are easy to use. Start by inserting them at the bottom of the object with which you want to use them.
As previously mentioned, equipment legs feature a threaded stud. The threaded stud is essentially a bolt. As long as the object has threaded holes of the same size, it should support the equipment legs. To use equipment legs, place them inside of the threaded holes on the bottom of the object and turn them.

Adjust the height
Now you can adjust the height. All equipment legs are adjustable. You can make them taller or shorter. You'll need to adjust the height of the equipment legs to make the object level. If the object tilts to the right side, for instance, you may need to raise the equipment legs on the right side or lower the equipment legs on the left side.
Turning equipment legs clockwise will make them shorter, whereas turning equipment legs counterclockwise will make them longer. Go through each of the installed equipment legs while adjusting their height. Remember, you want the object to be level. If it's not level, you'll need to adjust the height of some or all of the equipment legs.

Check to ensure object is level
When you are finished installing the equipment legs, you may want to check to ensure the object is level. Place a bubble level or laser level on top of the object. If it's level, you won't need to make any further adjustments to the equipment legs. The equipment legs will keep the object level.

Things to Consider When Choosing Equipment Legs

You'll want to take these points into consideration before you make any decisions:
Load capacity
How much weight will your equipment legs have to support? Not all equipment legs have the same load capacity, so this information is critical.
Swivel or rigid base?
If you already know that the floor is uneven, then you'll want a swivel base in order to level your machinery or floor. Remember, a rigid base is adjustable for raising or lowering only.
Male or female?
Tapped or 'female' mounts have a tapped hole to be attached to a threaded fastener, permitting a lower profile, but prohibiting height adjustments.
Stud or 'male' equipment legs use an easy-to-attach threaded stud for attaching and leveling. A jam nut can be used to lock the position.
Materials
Think about your choices of materials for the base. Plastic equipment legs cost and weigh the least, and help control vibration. Metal equipment legs have increased durability and strength and usually higher load capacity, but require a vibration-dampening pad if vibration is a concern.

Why Are Steel Equipment Legs Important

Steel equipment legs are important for their sterility, versatility, and strength. Whether you're leveling a fridge, an industrial machine, or even a hospital trolley, you may find that steel and stainless-steel equipment legs are more than up to the task.
Stainless steel footplates, in particular, are sealed for hygiene reasons. Their minimal maintenance requirements and easy-clean surface make them suitable for food, medical, and dental industries.
The corrosion resistance of stainless steel levelers, like socket mount equipment legs, is another excellent feature. Without rust, they will likely last the distance.
Finally, vibration reduction can be one of the most standout reasons people opt for steel equipment legs. When paired with rubber, poly, or similar materials, they may significantly reduce vibrations.

Installation Tips for Equipment Legs

1. Clean the equipment's base or mounting surface to remove any debris or contaminants before installing the equipment legs.
2. Use a level to ensure that the equipment is positioned correctly before adjusting the equipment legs.
3. Tighten the locking nut or jam nut once the desired height and levelness are achieved to secure the position of the equipment legs.
4. Periodically check and readjust the equipment legs as needed to compensate for any changes in the underlying surface or equipment load.
