Key Features:
- AISI 304 Stainless Steel Base and Nut: Provides excellent corrosion resistance and strength.
- AISI 303 Stainless Steel Threaded Stem: Ensures durability and smooth adjustment.
- Stainless Steel Set Screw: Securely clamped by glue for integral component stability.
- NBR Rubber (PERBUNAN) No-Slip Disk: Hardness from 80 to 85 Shore A, black color, prevents slipping and protects surfaces.
- M16 Thread Size: Standard threading for compatibility.
- Integrated Adhesion: Perfect adhesion between rubber and metal surface of the base cavity, preventing infiltration of substances.
- Dual Adjustment: Stem can be adjusted via hexagon socket at the upper end or spanner flats at the lower end.
Setup and Installation
Proper installation of the Elesa 408534 Leveling Element is crucial for optimal performance and stability. Follow these steps to ensure correct setup:
- Prepare the Mounting Surface: Ensure the surface where the leveling element will be installed is clean, flat, and capable of supporting the intended load.
- Thread the Element: Screw the threaded stem of the leveling element into the corresponding threaded hole on the equipment or structure to be leveled. Ensure it is threaded securely.
- Initial Adjustment: Loosely adjust the height of the element by rotating the base or the threaded stem until it makes contact with the ground or supporting surface.
- Fine Adjustment: Use a spanner on the flats at the lower end of the stem or an appropriate hexagon key in the socket at the upper end to precisely adjust the height. Rotate clockwise to lower and counter-clockwise to raise.
- Secure the Position: Once the desired height and level are achieved, tighten the nut against the equipment's mounting surface to lock the leveling element in place. This prevents unwanted rotation or loosening during operation.
- Verify Stability: After installation and adjustment, gently test the stability of the equipment to ensure it is level and securely supported by all leveling elements.
Note: For applications requiring maximum static load, ensure the mounting surface and the equipment's structure are robust enough to handle the specified load capacity of 4256 lb.
Operating Instructions
The Elesa 408534 Leveling Element is designed for static load applications where precise leveling and stability are required. Once installed, its operation primarily involves maintaining the desired level and ensuring the integrity of the setup.
- Load Distribution: Ensure that the load is evenly distributed across all installed leveling elements to prevent excessive stress on any single point.
- Periodic Level Check: For critical applications, periodically check the level of the equipment using a spirit level or similar tool. Readjust if necessary.
- Adjustment for Relocation: If equipment needs to be moved, loosen the locking nuts, adjust the leveling elements as needed for the new location, and then re-tighten the nuts.
- Environmental Considerations: While the stainless steel construction offers high corrosion resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to highly corrosive chemicals or extreme temperatures beyond typical industrial environments to preserve material integrity.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps prolong the lifespan and ensures the continued performance of your Elesa 408534 Leveling Elements.
- Cleaning: Clean the leveling elements periodically to remove dust, dirt, and debris. Use a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the stainless steel finish or the rubber disk.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the threaded stem, nut, and base for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Check the integrity of the non-slip rubber disk for cracks or degradation.
- Tightness Check: Verify that the locking nuts remain tight and secure. Vibrations or heavy loads over time can sometimes cause nuts to loosen. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Lubrication: The threaded stem does not typically require lubrication for normal operation. However, if adjustment becomes stiff, a small amount of appropriate lubricant can be applied to the threads, ensuring it does not interfere with the non-slip disk or load bearing.
