They are typically found in equipment such as gas, diesel and LNG engines, generators, compressors, electric motors and gearboxes.&nbsp;<br/><br/>The Vibracon E series – which includes four different models – has improved self-levelling and height adjustment. The chocks allow all types of rotating equipment to be mounted easily and accurately to base frames and either steel or concrete foundations.&nbsp;<br/><br/>“They help to simplify the installation of rotating machinery, which improves technical and economic performance,” says Rene Vermeulen, senior engineering sales manager at SKF.&nbsp;<br/><br/>The chocks accommodate angular differences of up to 4° between machine and mounting base – without having to machine the base or install epoxy resin chocks. This self-levelling ability, combined with height adjustment, reduces the possibility of a soft foot in the production line. The chocks can also lower the cost of equipment foundations – whether designed-in or retrofitted&nbsp;<br/><br/>The four products in the Vibracon E range are: carbon steel chocks; surface treated chocks; stainless steel chocks; and low-profile elements.&nbsp;<br/><br/>Carbon steel chocks are suitable for indoor applications, such as on the factory floor. Surface-treated products are for more extreme environments such as humid or salty climates. Stainless steel variants are aimed at the most demanding conditions, such as in the oil &amp; gas industry. Low-profile elements offer an economic alternative to more expensive milled chocks, shims, or epoxy resins.&nbsp;<br/><br/>A broad range of specialist adjustment tools – available from SKF – allows technicians to alter chock height with maximum safety and comfort. In addition, the chocks are backed by SKF’s expertise in maintenance and shaft alignment.&nbsp;<br/><br/>SKF also offers a product selection tool that simplifies the process of choosing exactly the right chock for a particular application.&nbsp;SKF manufactures standard and customized <a href="https://www.its-bearing.com/products/Slewing-Bearings/237.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192); text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);"><strong>slewing bearings</strong></span></a> in various designs, with outside diameters from 0,1 to 18 m to meet the demands of particular applications.</span></p>
