SKF Vibracon The chocking solution for rotating equipment

SKF Vibracon The chocking solution which offers easy, accurate and economical installation of rotating equipment SKF Vibracon chocks are self-leveling and provide the option to reduce profile height. They allow easy, accurate mounting of all types of rotating equipment to base frames and either steel or concrete foundations. They accommodate the angular difference (up to 4°) between machine and mounting base without the need to machine the base or install epoxy resin chocks. The chocks eliminate soft foot- and can lower the cost of equipment foundations – whether they are designed-in or retrofitted....

SKF Vibracon chocks have undergone rigorous laboratory and field testing. This has been performed in a variety of environments and applications, under the scrutiny of designers, production managers, OEM commissioning engineers, operators and owners. The chocks have helped many leading engineering companies to improve both technical and economic performance. SKF Vibracon chocks can save costs and raise performance in many industries, including: • Food & beverage • Pulp & paper • Oil & gas • Marine & offshore • Railways • Power generation – including renewable energy • Agriculture • Clean room...

Carbon steel chocks (E-CS) Surface treated chocks (E-CSTR) Stainless steel chocks (E-SS) Low profile chocks (ELP-ASTR) Adjustment tools Other SKF Vibracon applications SKF Vibracon adjustable chocks can satisfy a range of technical concerns, as they are available in a number of configurations and materials. Chocks made of carbon steel are recommended for indoor use. They provide a cost-effective solution for standard applications, while offering reliable performance in environments such as on the factory floor. Applying additives at the mating surfaces provides initial protection – both before...

SKF Vibracon selection tool How to select the appropriate SKF Vibracon chock Selecting the correct chock for an application is not easy – but is simplified by the use of the SKF Vibracon selection tool. The SKF Vibracon selection tool was developed to simplify the selection of the correct adjustable steel chock for mounting rotating equipment. The selection tool determines the most suitable Vibracon chock for an application, based on three key criteria: • Bolt size • Available installation height (chocking height) • Preferred material – such as carbon steel, surface treated steel or stainless...

Also available from SKF Spherical washers Avoid bending of the foundation bolt Spherical washers from SKF are designed to create an exact, parallel plane between the bolt head and the face of the nut. These washers automatically adjust and compensate for the angular deviation between the planes and prevent the bolt from bending. Advantages of using spherical washers: • Automatically compensates for angular errors • Evenly distributed bolt tension • Reduces bolt fatigue from bending bolts • Improved bolt stretch possible due to increased clamping length • Surface treated for protection in humid...
