Guide for a basic calculation of the static load

To calculate the static load capacity of a single levelling component in a machine/ structure where theglobal load is uniformly distributed among the components is enough to divide the load of the structu-re for the number of levelling legs Total weight of machineSupport number In case the machine/structure is subjected to a dynamic load, for example the movement caused bymaintenance or assembling works we suggest to double the total weight of the structure to gain secu-rity. Total weight of machine x 2Support number In case some operators have to act on the structure we suggest to add 1500N to the load capacity ofeach component: Total weight of machine X2+ 1500N x operators numberSupport number In case the machine is subjected to constant vibrations it is advisable to evaluate the nature of thestress in order to find out the adequate levelling system.
