Gibraltar NSSW-1A-G Studded Pivotal Leveling Pad 3750 Lb

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR NSSW-1A-G is a studded pivotal stud mount leveling pad designed to provide stable, adjustable support for industrial equipment, machinery bases, and fabricated frames. The 3/8-16 bolt thread stud mounts directly into a tapped hole or receives a mating nut, allowing height and level adjustment without special tooling. With a rated load capacity of 3,750 pounds and a 1-1/4 inch base diameter, this pad handles substantial static loads while the pivotal design accommodates minor floor irregularities and angular misalignment. Total installed length is 4-7/8 inches. This part is installed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors during equipment setting and alignment operations.

The NSSW-1A-G suits light to medium industrial applications where a threaded stud mount is required for leveling. Typical installations include machine bases, compressor skids, generator frames, HVAC equipment curbs, and fabricated steel structures placed on concrete or finished floors. The pivotal foot self-levels on uneven surfaces, reducing the need for shimming. With a 3/8-16 thread, it integrates with standard hardware and is well suited to equipment in the 3,750-pound-or-less load-per-foot range.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 bolt thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes and hardware
• 3,750 pound static load capacity per pad
• 1-1/4 inch base diameter provides a stable floor contact footprint
• Pivotal design self-adjusts to minor floor irregularities and angular misalignment
• 4-7/8 inch overall length allows for meaningful height adjustment range
• Lightweight at 0.3 pounds, minimizing added dead load to the assembly

Compatibility

Designed as a standard stud mount leveling pad for equipment and machinery frames tapped or fitted for 3/8-16 threaded hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a millwright or mechanical technician during equipment setting. Ensure the mating tapped hole or locking nut is rated to handle the applied load before torquing the stud. Thread engagement should be sufficient to prevent pull-out under dynamic or shock loading conditions. Confirm the floor surface can support the combined load of the equipment before finalizing leveling positions.
