SKF Vibracon SM -SS chocks are adjustable supports made of carbon steel, placed between a machine base and its foundation to correct unevenness and hold equipment level before final anchoring. They take the place of conventional sheet metal shims. The series is supplied for plant and workshop installations across the United States, Canada, Mexico and South America.
Reading the code is straightforward. The figure after SM gives the chock size, so SM 16 -SS, SM 20 -SS, SM 24 -SS, SM 30 -SS and SM 42 -SS each sit in a different height and capacity range. The -SS ending marks the carbon steel version. When you ask for a quote, include the full part number plus the dimensions of the machine being leveled so the right size can be confirmed.
Typical applications are pumps, motors, compressors, gearboxes and rotating equipment in general. Food, chemical and petrochemical plants use them, as do metalworking shops where stable, fine leveling matters. They fit new installations and also serve as replacements for metal shims during maintenance shutdowns.
Selection comes down to three items: the load carried by each support point, the leveling height required, and the anchoring method. During installation the equipment is aligned and the anchor bolts are tightened in stages. The support surface has to be clean and flat. After leveling, the chock is secured and alignment is checked once more before start-up.
Vibracon SM -SS chocks can be swapped with adjustable chocks from other manufacturers when the dimensions are similar, but height, bolt diameter and load capacity should always be verified first. There is no universal cross-reference, since every manufacturer works to its own dimensions. If you have the old part number, send it and the corresponding SKF reference can be identified.
