Wicke Locking foot

Locking foot, plate dimensions 152 x 115 mm, height when activated 207 mm.

The locking foot is a device used for the immediate securing of a mobile device in a fixed position. It is solely for fixation; no lifting function is provided. The locking foot is typically mounted on the underside of a device next to a swivel caster or evenly between two swivel casters. The distance from the top edge of the base plate to the ground should be 200 mm. By operating the foot lever, a change in height occurs, resulting in contact of the rubber element with the ground. This fixes the device against the ground with a clamping force of 100 daN. In the activated state, swiveling of the laterally positioned swivel caster(s) is not possible. The height change is achieved through a knee lever system. The knee lever system switches the foot lever over a dead point, thus maintaining the height of 200 mm under a corresponding load of 100 daN independently. The force required to reach the dead point is approximately 30 daN. A brief operation of the lateral release lever, with a force of about 10 daN, returns the locking foot to its original position. Painted fire red (RAL 3000).
