Female Levelling Feet

What are swivel feet?

Swivel feet, also known as female levelling feet, are used to stabilize and support machinery and equipment. Levelling feet are ideal solutions for equipment that may produce disruptive levels of noise and vibration. To avoid damaged floors and machinery movement, WDS swivel feet can be applied to promote machinery stability through the variety of types in our range of industrial machine feet.

This extended selection of levelling feet are now available as female types, which have an internal thread located inside of the swivel ball joints in the base of the levelling foot. These shallow levelling feet are designed to be combined with any matching threaded stud of your choice.
