Machine mounts and machine feet

Machine feet with an ingenious design

The solution to vibration issues can primarily be found in the specialized anti-vibration rubber which supresses the vibrations, stabilizes the machine and reduces noise.

Machine mounts are based on a simple but genius design with three components that work together:

• A bolt that anchors the foot to the machine and adjusts the level to the floor surface, so that the machine is always aflat.
• A pressure plate that distributes the force from the machine vibrations into the rubber. Pressure plates come in a variety of different materials.
• The vibration reducing rubber which ensures that the vibrations of the machine won’t spread to the surface underneath.

Variations of the three main components ensures that our offer is as extensive as it needs to be.

An extensive selection of machine feet to meet all needs

The choice of machine mounts is made based on the weight of the machine/equipment and the pressure load it causes.

Machine mounts with a chassis of cast iron can handle extreme loads and is most suitable for particularly harsh vibrations from for example injection molding machines, crushing and punching machines. Examples of product families with cast iron include MHD and SM.

Common types of machine shoes and their uses

Machine mounts with a chassis of steel are the most common type of machine mounts and come in a variety of sizes and thickness levels for the rubber. They are used on anything from small pumps and compressors to large injection molding machines, presses and other machines based on the model and size. Examples of product families include LLM, AM and the OSM-series.

Machine mounts of the wedge shoe model is only used for levelling and can be placed anywhere under the machine as it’s not bolted to the machine. Wedge shoes can be adjusted in steps within their adjustment interval. They’re used for levelling mid to heavy machinery in plastic, workshops and graphics, among other areas. An example of a product family is WM. We also have variants that are screwed into the machine and the floor. Contact us here and we will help you and order these variants for you.

Cushions and pads come in a variety of sizes and stiffness. The pads are easy to install and will provide a quick vibration and sound dampening solution.

What are machine feet and why are they important?

Machine feet, also known as machine mounts, stabilize equipment, reduce vibrations, and protect the floor. They improve safety, minimize noise, and help extend the machine’s lifespan.

What’s the difference between machine feet and machine mounts?

The terms are often used interchangeably. At Sunnex, machine mounts usually refer to complete systems with built-in damping and leveling functions, while machine feet may refer to the simpler support element. We offer both options.

How do vibration-damping machine mounts work?

Sunnex machine mounts include special materials that absorb and isolate vibrations. This results in quieter operation, higher stability, and better equipment precision.

Can Sunnex machine feet be used on uneven floors?

Yes. Our leveling machine mounts are fully adjustable and ideal for industrial environments where floor surfaces are not perfectly flat.

What types of machines can use Sunnex mounts?

Our machine mounts are used on CNC equipment, lathes, presses, lab machinery, food production equipment, and more. Whatever the application, we have a solution.

How do I choose the right machine mount from Sunnex?

Selection depends on the machine’s weight, vibration level, operating environment, and floor type. Contact us for expert advice and tailored recommendations.

Are Sunnex machine mounts easy to install?

Absolutely. Most models come with standard threads and require no special tools. Installation is fast, easy, and compatible with both new and existing machines.
