RODOSET® Distance Units for Precise Height Adjustment

06/11/2024

RODOSET® distance units, also known as levelling units or height adjustable spacers, are mechanical components designed to simplify and optimize the positioning of industrial equipment. By simply rotating the upper part with a hook wrench, users can adjust the overall height with precision and ease.

These units offer a compact and reliable alternative to traditional adjustment systems like brackets, rails, and custom-machined parts. They’re ready-to-use, off-the-shelf components that save time and reduce installation complexity.

Key Benefits and Features

Precise and Simple Height Adjustment – Thanks to a finely pitched internal thread, RODOSET® units allow accurate and abundant height adjustments. For example, the RDU 40-22 model offers a height range from 54 mm to 86 mm, achieved in 21 full turns — a fine-tuned movement ideal for sensitive applications.

Durable and High-Load Design – Made of 42CrMo4 alloy steel, these components are engineered to withstand high axial loads, providing both rigidity and stability in the final assembly. The large, flat contact surfaces ensure a solid support structure, even in compact setups.

Pre-Lubricated Thread and Corrosion Resistance – Each unit is equipped with a pre-lubricated thread, making height adjustments smooth and effortless—even after long periods. The standard version is zinc-plated, while versions in AISI 303 and AISI 316 stainless steel are available for highly corrosive environments.

Applications: Where RODOSET® Units Make a Difference

RODOSET® levelling units are ideal for precise mounting of electric motors, gear motors, pumps, and other mechanical assemblies. They eliminate the need for separate alignment systems, saving both time and cost.

These components are especially useful in:

Equipment requiring frequent re-alignment, such as belt-driven systems
Situations where non-parallel surfaces are involved (with units compensating up to 4° of misalignment)
Compact industrial settings where space-saving and load capacity are essential

They are also compatible with self-aligning units like RDWS.. and RDUS.., making them even more versatile in dynamic environments.
