ROTACHOCK® BASICLINE This type is the primary solution for new designs and applications being built. When the gap height is still on the drawing board, just put in the RotaChock® BasicLine. The foundation bolt runs through the center hole of the RotaChock®, clamping the machine foot, the RotaChock®, and the top plate of the foundation together securely. When your equipment’s realignment is required, just loosen the foundation bolts and adjust the RotaChock® BasicLine to meet your target alignment. This adjustability feature is unmatched in the industry and creates vital time benefits compared to other chocking solutions.
OPTIMUM CONTACT SURFACE The RotaChock® has a spherical top part that ensures the best possible contact surface, even if the foundation and the machine foot are not parallel. The RotaChock® is also heightadjustable. The combination of these two features prevents Soft-Foot.
ANY DESIRED TORQUE The RotaChock® behaves like a solid steel chock and allows the foundation bolt to be tensioned to any required torque. Epoxy resin chocks, in contrast, have a maximum load of 5 N/ mm2. This relatively low torque often results in almost loose foundation bolts.
SPEED RotaChock® is installed quickly. A machine set up on a RotaChock® can generally be realigned and secured within an hour. In comparison: using epoxy resin can take days due to the long curing time. Measuring, production, and fitting of steel fitted blocks take even longer, and labor costs make that reasonably expensive.

ROTACHOCK® INFORMATION BOOK
HIGH LOADS RotaChock® competitive edge is its large footprint: the surface area of the bottom ring in contact with the foundation is larger, so the pressure exerted on that surface is lower. RotaChock® also uses a buttress thread design. These features allow RotaChock® to carry greater loads.
