SKF Vibracon chock Application and Installation Guide
2 2018 – version 2
1. Executive Summary
The SKF Vibracon chock is a universal re-
adjustable steel chock. Universal refers to the fact
that an SKF Vibracon chock can be used instead of
rigid steel chocks, steel shims or epoxy resin.
Re-adjustable refers to the possibility of re-
adjusting the chock at every re-alignment action.
The name ”SKF Vibracon” chock suggests that the
chock can absorb vibrations like a resilient mount
(vibration damper).
We want to point out that the SKF Vibracon chock
is absolutely not a resilient mount. The name has
been derived from “Vibration Conducting” steel
mount.
SKF Vibracon chock is a permanent, strong and re-
usable mounting chock for all types of rotating and /
or critically aligned machinery.
The SKF Vibracon chock is a mechanically stiff
chock that makes accurate mounting and alignment
simple and quick.
The SKF Vibracon chock advantages are:
x Eliminates “Soft Foot”

x No special installation skills required
x Green solution
The SKF Vibracon chock has many configurations
and material options to fulfill specific technical
requirements, and is being used in end user
