Every piece of machinery needs a chock to ensure it is level when mounted to a foundation and RotaChock offer the best solution as a gap filler.
Whereas steel-fitted blocks, shims and epoxy resins do serve their purpose as a gap filler, RotaChock is superior because they are adjustable, self-levelling and reusable.
A product of Chock Design in The Netherlands, RotaChock is a blend of engineering and years of field experience that has resulted in a robust, stiff, and elegant gap-filler to end machinery Soft-Foot.
RotaChock in Africa
Alignment With Laser are the regional representatives of RotaChock in Africa.
David Kirk, Managing Director of Alignment With Laser says, “RotaChock’s are very good value for money. As a unit they may be more expensive than other gap fillers but they are much easier and quicker to fit and they provide a very high level of stability.”
With much lower instillation man hours and lower repair and maintenance costs, RotaChock are the best solution.
“Another big advantage of RotaChock is that they are reusable. They are extremely well made and durable and every engineer should have them in his tool kit,” adds David.
Variations of RotaChock
There are three different kinds of RotaChock.
RotaChock BasicLine is a stiff, adjustable and self-levelling mounting chock for all types of rotating and/or critically aligned machinery equipment.
In cases where the RotaChock BasicLine won’t fit the available GAP-height, then RotaChock SlimLine starting from 20 mm should work.
The RotaChock Mounting Plate offers an adjustable alternative to epoxy resin or tailor made steel chocks for the installation of resilient mounts.
Applications of RotaChock
David says, “RotaChock is very versatile and is being used for mounting all types of rotating and critically aligned equipment. We have used RotaChock extensively in mounting combustion engines, turbines, compressors, electric motors, gearboxes, generators, shaft bearings and pumps.”
RotaChock has a proven and lasting track record at all major brands, such as Atlas Copco, Caterpillar, Cummins, General Electrics, Hyundai, MAN, Mitsubishi, MTU, Siemans and those masters of accuracy, Rolls-Royce.
