Jackmounts

Farrat Jackmounts and Captive Jackmounts offer a simple secure and economical means of supporting and installing machinery suited to jackscrew support.

Manufactured in the UK by Farrat, our Jackmounts and Captive Jackmounts have been used for decades in thousands of applications around the world. Jackmounts should not be used under machines with strong vertical or horizontal shock forces (consider Isomounts, Wedgemounts or Isolated Foundations instead).

Features & Benefits

  • Enables excellent, stable seating on uneven floors
  • High vibration damping to improve machine performance, reduce
  • machine wear and lower noise levels
  • Reduce shock transmission to and from the machine
  • Captive Jackmounts have a high friction grip so machines don’t move
  • Factory layout flexibility (no bolting down or grouting)

Machine Applications

 General machine tools, Scanning and X-ray machines, Conveyors, Lathes, Food, Drink and Pharmaceutical equipment, Transfer machines and Grinding machines.

Need help with your Application?

By their very nature, industrial machinery and equipment will generate shock and vibration which can affect the performance of the machine itself as well propagate through the ground to disturb operators, surroundings such as floors and foundations, building structures, offices and neighbouring residents and businesses etc.

Working closely with a trusted global network of industrial distributors and original equipment manufacturers, we have provided solutions to all manner of industrial applications, from full automotive production lines to individual machine tools and HVAC equipment, power presses, roll grinders and printing presses.
