KF Cast Foot Mounts

Key Features:

  • Versatile Variations:
    – The Cast Foot series includes three variations catering to different requirements: Standard Mount (KFN), Standard Mount with Higher Static Deflection (KFH), and Standard Mount with Stops and Higher Static Deflection (KFT).
    – This versatility ensures that you can choose the specific Cast Foot variation that best suits your application needs.
  • Top Casting Cover for Element Protection:
    – All variations feature a top casting cover designed to protect the rubber element from contamination.
    – This protective feature enhances the durability of the mounts, ensuring consistent performance in challenging environments.
  • Marine Application Suitability (Type KFT):
    – Type KFT mounts are specifically suitable for marine applications, providing reliable vibration damping in maritime settings.
    – This marine suitability extends the application range of Cast Foot Mounts to diverse industries.
  • Rubber Hardness Options:
    – Available in various rubber hardness options, the Cast Foot Mounts can be customised to meet specific application design criteria.
    – This adaptability ensures that the mounts can effectively address the unique vibration challenges of different environments.
  • High Load Rating and Static Deflection:
    – With a robust load rating of up to 2000kg and vertical static deflection of 16mm, these Cast Foot Mounts are designed to handle heavy loads and provide substantial deflection where needed.
    – This high load capacity makes them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Applications:

Discover the extensive applications of KF Cast Foot Mounts:
