Which component is used under leveling screws or bolts to prevent digging into the foundation?

Leveling washers are specifically designed to be placed under leveling screws or bolts to distribute the load more evenly and prevent the screws or bolts from digging into the foundation. By providing a larger surface area at the point of contact, leveling washers help to stabilize the equipment and maintain alignment, thereby reducing the risk of damage to both the foundation and the equipment itself.

This component is particularly important in applications where precise leveling is crucial, as it allows for minor adjustments while ensuring that the weight of the equipment is properly supported. In contrast, leveling shims are typically used to fill gaps or adjust height but may not provide the same level of stability. Leveling isolators are designed to minimize vibrations, and leveling wedges are more suited for temporary adjustments rather than long-term support.
