Säätöjalkoja

Säätöjalkoja, known in English as adjustable feet or leveling feet, are mechanical components used to provide stability and adjust the height of furniture, machinery, and equipment. They typically consist of a threaded bolt or stud that screws into a base or housing, which in turn rests on the supporting surface. The threaded nature of the bolt allows for precise vertical adjustment, enabling users to compensate for uneven floors or to achieve a specific desired height.

These feet are commonly found in applications where precise positioning is crucial. Examples include industrial machinery, laboratory equipment, office furniture, shelving units, and even some kitchen appliances. The base of the säätöjalka can vary in design, from simple flat discs to more complex designs with swivel capabilities to better conform to uneven surfaces. Materials used for säätöjalkoja range from durable plastics and rubber for the base to metals like steel or stainless steel for the threaded component, ensuring longevity and load-bearing capacity.

The primary function of säätöjalkoja is to ensure that an object stands level and remains stable. By adjusting the height of individual feet, users can eliminate wobbling and prevent premature wear or damage that can occur when an item is not properly supported. This adjustability is particularly important in environments where cleanliness and hygiene are paramount, as it allows for easier cleaning beneath the supported object and prevents the accumulation of dust and debris.
