WMI

WMI vibration-damping male leveling mounts are offered with M16 and M20 threaded studs. For example, SKU 34RU60 and SKU 34RU58 use an M16 thread, while SKU 34RU63 and SKU 34RU61 use an M20 thread. The thread size determines compatibility with the mounting hole or threaded insert on the equipment. When selecting a mount, match the thread size to the equipment's mounting point and verify that the load capacity meets or exceeds the static load per mount. The mounts include a locking nut to secure the stud after adjustment.

WMI vibration-damping male leveling mounts in the 3G Electric catalog have load capacities of 6,700 lb and 8,900 lb. The 6,700 lb capacity is associated with M16 thread sizes, such as SKU 34RU60, SKU 34RU58, and SKU 34RU62. The 8,900 lb capacity is associated with M20 thread sizes, such as SKU 34RU63, SKU 34RU61, and SKU 34RU59. These ratings are per mount; the total load should be distributed across the number of mounts used, with a safety factor appropriate for the application. Consult the specific product datasheet for detailed load ratings and installation guidelines.

WMI general purpose leveling plate casters combine a swivel caster with a leveling pad. This allows equipment to be rolled into position and then stabilized on uneven floors. The caster provides mobility, while the leveling pad can be adjusted to lift the caster off the floor and create a stable, level footprint. They are used on industrial equipment, workbenches, and machinery. Models include WMI-80S-BLK and WGD-60F. The leveling pad is typically adjusted after the equipment is in place to ensure it sits level and does not rock. This design is useful for equipment that needs to be moved periodically but operated in a fixed, level position.

WMI vibration-damping male leveling mounts feature a nickel-plated finish. This finish provides corrosion resistance for industrial environments. The round base is also nickel-plated. The locking nut is included and is typically zinc-plated or nickel-plated depending on the specific SKU. Nickel plating is commonly used on leveling mounts to protect against rust and extend service life in indoor and sheltered outdoor applications. For highly corrosive environments, additional protection or alternative materials may be required; consult the product datasheet for specific environmental ratings.

Yes, WMI vibration-damping male leveling mounts are designed to reduce transmission of vibration between equipment and the floor. The vibration-damping element is integrated into the mount, which helps isolate machinery vibration from the building structure and can also protect sensitive equipment from floor-borne vibration. They are suitable for use with industrial machinery, pumps, compressors, and other equipment that generates vibration. The mounts are available in M16 and M20 thread sizes with load capacities of 6,700 lb and 8,900 lb. Installation involves threading the stud into the equipment base and adjusting the leveling foot to the desired height, then tightening the locking nut.

To select a WMI leveling mount or caster, gather the following: the total weight of the equipment and the number of mounting points to determine the load per mount; the thread size required (M16 or M20 for male leveling mounts); the required height or adjustment range; the floor conditions (unevenness, need for mobility); and the environment (corrosion, washdown, temperature). For leveling plate casters, consider the load capacity, wheel diameter, and mounting plate dimensions. The WMI catalog includes models with specific thread sizes, heights, and load capacities. 3G Electric provides datasheets for each SKU to assist with selection.
