When a machine has to sit level and stay that way after anchoring, SKF Vibracon SM -CSTR chocks do the job that stacks of sheet metal shims and wedges cannot do cleanly. These adjustable chocks are made of carbon steel and let you correct unevenness on a base or foundation with control before the equipment is bolted down. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this SKF line for mounting and maintenance work.
Reading the code is straightforward once you know the pattern. The digits that follow SM give the chock size, so SM 16 -CSTR, SM 20 -CSTR and SM 24 -CSTR are three sizes in the same category. The -CSTR ending tells you the unit is the carbon steel version. Share the complete part number with us and we will send the data sheet.
Typical applications include pumps, motors, compressors, fans and machine tools, as well as process equipment in water treatment plants. Food, chemical, petrochemical and power generation facilities also use them. Their purpose is to bring the machine to level and give it firm support before anchoring, which keeps the base from deforming and reduces vibration that shortens the life of bearings and seals.
Selection comes down to two figures: the load carried by each support point and the leveling height required. During installation the machine is held suspended or on temporary shims while the chocks are positioned, adjusted with the proper tool and checked with leveling instruments. The machine is then anchored and the adjustment finalized. Keep the support surface clean and flat, and seat each chock perpendicular to the load.
Vibracon chocks can be exchanged with adjustable chocks from other manufacturers, though height, base diameter and thread often differ from one make to another. If you are replacing an existing unit, check those three dimensions before ordering. Send us the original part number and we will help you identify the equivalent.
