Product catalog summary
Introduction to SKF Vibracon
SKF Vibracon is a universal, adjustable chock designed for the economical mounting of machinery. It is self-leveling, height-adjustable, and reusable, making it suitable for various types of rotating equipment. The chock eliminates soft foot issues and reduces foundation costs, applicable in industrial, marine, offshore, and military settings.

Advantages of SKF Vibracon
SKF Vibracon offers several advantages, including the elimination of curing time associated with epoxy resin chocks and the removal of trial and error in alignment processes. It provides adjustability throughout the machinery's lifecycle and accommodates angular differences in mounting surfaces. The chocks are available in various configurations and materials to meet technical and cost concerns.

Product Features
SKF Vibracon elements include a spherical top plate and a mating middle section, allowing for self-leveling and height adjustment. This feature makes installation quick and easy, establishing a perfect mounting plane economically. The low-profile version is ideal for repair projects or fixed design systems, offering an economic solution where previous methods were costly and time-consuming.

Surface Treatment and Applications

SKF Vibracon The universal adjustable chock-1

The economical machinery mounting solution Why use SKF Vibracon? • SKF Vibracon is a self leveling, height adjustable and re-usable chock • Easy and accurate mounting of all types of rotating equipment to base frames, steel foundations or concrete • Eliminates soft foot from the production line through the life cycle of the equipment • Reduces the cost of equipment foundations by design for the first build or through retrofit • SKF Vibracon has many well documented applications and references. SKF Vibracon advantage SKF Vibracon elements are permanent, strong and re-usable machinery mounting chocks for all types of rotating or critically aligned machinery. SKF Vibracon mounts are mechanically stiff elements that make accurate mounting simple and quick. SKF Vibracon advantages are the absence of curing time, as with epoxy resin chocks, it eliminates the trial and error alignment process characteristic for the "mill and shim” method and adjustability during the life cycle of the machinery. SKF Vibracon has many configurations and material options to satisfy technical concerns, in end user environments and production line costs. All SKF Vibracon elements include the spherical top plate and mating middle section. This self leveling configuration accommodates the angular differences that are inherent with mounting surfaces. The height adjustment feature has the greatest range in the industry, which makes SKF Vibracon easy to install. SKF Vibracon elements are the most economical means to establish a perfect mounting plane. SKF Vibracon advantage is the capability to perfectly create the mounting plane within minutes and repeatedly for production or service managers and accountants. SKF Vibracon can help save costs in: • Industrial applications • Marine applications • Offshore applications • Military and navy applications.

Typical SKF Vibracon application Electrical motor and compressor Other SKF Vibracon applications SKF Vibracon elements are machinery mounting chocks that are easily and accurately adjusted. The elements accommodate the a ­ ngular difference between machine and the mounting base without expensive machining of the base or extra work of installing epoxy resin chocks. The self leveling capability combined with the height adjustment feature elimi­ ates the possibility of a soft foot in the n p ­ roduction line through the life cycle of the machinery.
