KS-Jackscrews® help level base plates and sole plates during construction activities typically associated with rotating machines, general equipment, pipe supports and steel construction in industrial complexes. They can also be used for foundations of buildings and bridges.

They are inserted between the foundation and the machine plate or base frame. The final height can be set after the equipment or building element has been installed by adjusting the nut of the KS-Jackscrew®. This eliminates the need for cranage.

KS-Jackscrews® can be inserted with the machine plate or base frame once the construction part has been secured. Unlike multiple steel plates and / or shims, its Condisk enables uniform contact without high spots and associated load concentrations. The initial height can be set before the base plate is installed, saving time and money.

Accurate levelling is achieved by adjusting the nuts of the KS-Jackscrews®. After levelling, the anchor bolts are grouted and, after hardening, tightened. The baseplates or pedestals may now be finish grouted, leaving the KS-Jackscrews® in place. To level large frames and machines, we suggest fixing KS-Jackscrews® with epoxy cement.
