• Stainless Steel Construction: Premium models feature stainless steel construction that offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and an attractive silver finish suitable for food-grade and cleanroom environments.

• Zinc Alloy/Zinc-Plated Steel: Economical options provide excellent strength with protective zinc plating that resists rust and wear.

• Robust Load Capacity: With static load ratings up to 300 kg per glide, these components can support heavy machinery, industrial shelving, and workbenches with confidence.

• Long Service Life: Precision manufacturing ensures consistent performance and resistance to deformation under continuous load.

Floor-Protecting Rubber Base
The 40 mm diameter base features a high-quality rubber pad that serves multiple essential functions:

• Non-Slip Surface: The rubber material grips flooring securely, preventing equipment from shifting or walking during use.

• Scratch Protection: Soft rubber cushions floors against scratches, scuffs, and dents from metal furniture legs.

• Vibration Damping: Rubber absorbs minor vibrations and shocks, reducing noise and protecting sensitive equipment.

• Smooth Gliding: Enables easy repositioning of furniture without lifting when required.

What is included with the 40 mm metallic foot glide?
Your 40 mm metallic foot glide package typically includes:

• Single Foot Glide: One complete unit with threaded stem and rubber base pad (quantity varies by pack size).

• Mounting Hardware: Threaded stem ready for installation into pre-drilled holes or threaded inserts.

• Installation Instructions: Basic guidelines for proper mounting.

Multiple packs (2, 4, or 6 pieces) are available for complete furniture sets.

Versatile Thread Options for Easy Installation
These foot glides are available with various thread sizes to accommodate different applications:

• M8 Thread: Standard 8mm metric thread suitable for light to medium-duty furniture and equipment.

• M10 Thread: Heavy-duty 10mm metric thread with 75mm thread length for maximum load capacity and adjustability.

• Thread Length Options: Thread lengths typically range from 20mm to 75mm, allowing for significant height adjustment.

The threaded stem design enables quick installation into existing tapped holes or can be used with threaded inserts in wooden legs.

How do I install these foot glides?
Installation is straightforward with basic tools:

1. Prepare the Furniture Leg: Ensure the leg has a pre-drilled hole of appropriate diameter for the threaded stem, or install a threaded insert into wooden legs.

2. Insert the Glide: Screw the threaded stem into the prepared hole by hand or with a wrench.

3. Adjust Height: Rotate the glide to achieve the desired height, compensating for uneven floors.

4. Lock in Place: Some models feature lock nuts to secure the adjustment permanently.

5. Verify Stability: Ensure all glides make solid contact with the floor for stable support.

The inclination angle of up to 10° on premium models allows the foot to self-align with uneven surfaces, ensuring full contact even on sloped floors.

Key Dimensions

• Base Diameter: 40 mm (1.57 inches).

• Overall Height: 42.5 mm to 101 mm (varies by thread length and model).

• Thread Size Options: M8 or M10 metric thread.

• Thread Length: 20 mm to 75 mm depending on model.

• Base Material: Stainless steel, zinc-plated steel, or zinc alloy body with rubber pad.

• Weight: Approximately 30g to 150g per glide depending on size.

What are the load capacity ratings?
Load capacity varies by model and thread size:

• Standard Duty: 150-200 kg per glide for general furniture and light equipment.

• Heavy Duty: Up to 300 kg per glide for industrial machinery and workbenches.

• Maximum Height: 101 mm adjustable range for significant leveling requirements.

Always ensure that the total load is properly distributed across all glides and that individual ratings are not exceeded.

Versatile Applications Across Industries
The 40 mm metallic foot glide proves invaluable in countless scenarios:

• Industrial Workbenches: Provide stable, level support for assembly benches and workstations.

• Machinery and Equipment: Level heavy manufacturing equipment and prevent vibration transfer.

• Laboratory Furniture: Ideal for chemical-resistant stainless steel models in lab environments.

• Commercial Kitchens: Stainless steel options withstand moisture and cleaning chemicals.

• Retail Displays: Create professional, stable displays with adjustable leveling.

• Office Furniture: Heavy-duty desks and filing cabinets benefit from floor protection.

• Storage Shelving: Industrial shelving units require robust leveling for safety and stability.

Material Comparison: Stainless Steel vs. Zinc-Plated Steel

What is the maximum inclination angle?
Premium models of the 40 mm metallic foot glide feature a swivel or pivoting base that accommodates floor unevenness.
The inclination angle of up to 10° allows the rubber foot to maintain full contact with the floor even on sloped surfaces, ensuring maximum stability and preventing rocking.
This self-aligning feature is essential for equipment placed on floors that are not perfectly level.

Durability and Corrosion Resistance
These metallic foot glides are engineered to withstand harsh industrial environments:

• Rust Resistance: Stainless steel models offer complete rust protection for wet or corrosive environments.

• Wear-Resistant Threads: Precision-rolled threads maintain integrity through repeated adjustments.

• Impact-Resistant Base: The metallic body withstands impacts from forklifts and moving equipment.

• Temperature Tolerance: Suitable for a wide range of operating temperatures in industrial settings.

How do I choose the right thread size?
Selecting the correct thread size depends on your application:

• M8 Thread: Suitable for furniture legs up to 50mm square, light to medium equipment, and applications where adjustment frequency is low.

• M10 Thread: Required for heavy machinery, workbenches supporting 300kg+ loads, and applications requiring maximum stability.

• Thread Length: Choose longer threads (75mm) when significant height adjustment is needed for uneven floors.

Always verify the thread size and pitch of your existing furniture or planned installation before ordering.

Maintenance for Long-Term Performance
To ensure your 40 mm metallic foot glides continue performing optimally:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check for loose threads or signs of wear.

• Clean Surfaces: Wipe with a damp cloth as needed; stainless steel can be cleaned with mild detergents.

• Thread Lubrication: Apply food-grade lubricant to threads if adjustment becomes difficult (avoid in food processing areas).

• Rubber Pad Check: Ensure rubber remains intact and provides good grip; replace if worn or hardened.

• Tighten Lock Nuts: If equipped with locking mechanisms, verify they remain secure.

Why Choose Metallic Foot Glides Over Plastic?
Metallic foot glides offer distinct advantages for industrial applications:

• Higher Load Capacity: Metal construction supports significantly heavier equipment than plastic alternatives.

• Superior Durability: Metal withstands impacts, abrasion, and repeated adjustments without failure.

• Professional Appearance: The metallic finish presents a polished, industrial look appropriate for visible equipment.

• Temperature Resistance: Suitable for environments where plastic might become brittle or deform.

• Chemical Resistance: Stainless steel resists many industrial chemicals and cleaning agents.
