Levelling Screws for Machinery and Equipment

Leveling Screws – precision alignment for stable machine installation

MOVET leveling screws allow for the accurate leveling of machines and systems, even on uneven floors. They ensure a secure and stable foundation while supporting optimal machine alignment. With a wide range of thread sizes, spindle lengths, materials, and accessories, these components can be tailored to meet specific industrial requirements—handling loads of up to 100,000 N.

Leveling screws and locknuts – a complete system for long-term positioning

To ensure that the height setting remains secure over time, MOVET recommends using leveling screws and locknuts as a combined system. The locknut prevents the screw from loosening due to vibrations or shifting loads. Together, they provide a secure, precise, and maintenance-free setup—even in dynamic production environments.

Fine-thread sizes from M24 to M42 – for medium to heavy-duty machines

MOVET offers leveling screws in metric fine threads, including M24x2, M27x2, M30x2, M35x2, M36, M36x2, M36x3, and M42x2. These threads are suitable for heavy-duty equipment and can support loads of up to 90 kN. Special configurations and custom thread lengths are also available upon request—with short lead times.

High-quality locknuts – secure and corrosion-resistant

Locknuts are made from strong steel and are available with phosphated or zinc-plated finishes for corrosion resistance and long-term performance. The precise thread tolerance ensures a tight, vibration-proof fit that holds the screw firmly in place—without distortion or backlash, even under dynamic loads.

Quick and safe installation – simple height adjustment

MOVET leveling screws and locknuts are easy to install and require minimal tools. The height is adjusted by rotating the spindle, while the locknut secures the set position. The system allows for fast, intuitive machine setup—ideal for maintenance operations, new installations, and machine retrofits.

Selecting Levelling Screws by Load and Installation Dimensions

When selecting levelling screws for machinery, the load at each individual support point, thread size and required spindle length must be considered. The total machine weight should not simply be divided equally between all mounting points, as an uneven centre of gravity and dynamic operating forces can result in higher loads on individual levelling bolts.

MOVET supplies steel levelling screws with metric fine threads for medium-duty and heavy industrial machinery. Fine threads allow controlled height adjustment, while different spindle lengths make it possible to match the levelling element to the machine frame and required adjustment range. The thread, installation height, supporting surface and load capacity should be checked before ordering.

Levelling Bolts with Floor Fixing for Industrial Machinery

Levelling bolts with a drilled base plate can be anchored to the floor and are suitable for machines that must be secured against movement or lifting. The floor fixing provides an additional mechanical connection between the machine and its foundation while the threaded spindle remains available for precise height adjustment.

Once the machine has been levelled, a suitable locknut can secure the adjusted position and help prevent unintended rotation of the spindle. Whether floor anchoring is required depends on the machine design, operating forces, floor construction and applicable safety requirements.
