Farrat Levalators

Product catalog summary

Introduction to Farrat Levalators
Farrat Levalators are designed to enhance the performance of large, precision, and long bed machinery by improving alignment accuracy, rigidity, and stability. They serve as a crucial link between the machine and its foundation, ensuring that both function as a single, integrated unit.

Key Features

Precision alignment method for enhanced accuracy.
Rigid support for maximum machine bed stiffness.
Complete integration of machine and foundation.
Low overall height for a reduced machine center of gravity.
Systematic and predictable machine installation.
Precision adjustment for fine alignment.
High bolt tensions without causing bed distortion.
Micrometer-type height adjustment range of 12mm.
Capability for subsequent alignment readjustments.
No horizontal forces applied during adjustments.
High lifting force to adjustment torque ratio.
Developed and manufactured by Farrat, with decades of global application.

DATA SHEET Levalators Precision Levelling mounts For more information visit: www.farrat.com Why choose Farrat Levalators? Levalators improve large, precision and long bed machinery performance by increasing alignment accuracy, rigidity and stability. Large machines generally need good foundations both to re-inforce the machine bed and to reduce vibration by mass damping. Levalators are the vital connection between machine and foundation enabling machine and foundation to become one unit. A machine on weak supports may as well not have a foundation. Levalators can be fully grouted in, thus achieving a virtually built-in or encastré support which considerably increases the stiffness of the machine base and creates complete machine foundation integration. Features The most accurate method of precision alignment > Rigid support for maximum machine bed stiffness > Total machine-to-foundation integration > Low overall height to ensure a low machine centre of gravity > Systemised and predictable precision machine installation > Precision adjustment to obtain very fine alignment > High bolt tensions without bed distortion > Micrometer type height adjustment range of 12mm > Facility to carry out subsequent alignment readjustments > For machines with significant changes in load distribution > No horizontal forces applied when adjusting > High ratio of lifting force to adjustment torque > Developed and manufactured by Farrat > Used for decades in countless applications worldwide
