SKF Vibracon Low Profile Chocks (ELP-ASTR Series)
Economic Solution for Space-Constrained Applications
These chocks are aimed at applications with limited available chocking heights. Low profile chocks offer an economic alternative to the expensive milled chocks, shims or epoxy resins typically used for re-chocking projects or previously designed solutions.
Each part is individually surface treated, which helps to give the chocks a consistent quality and extended performance against corrosion. They can be fitted easily and cost-effectively, which helps machine owners who are on a tight installation schedule.
When to Use Low Profile Chocks:
• Limited available mounting space
• Re-chocking projects where height is restricted
• Retrofit applications with space constraints
• Replacement of milled chocks or shims
• Cost-conscious projects requiring corrosion protection
• Applications requiring fast installation
• Machine owners on tight schedules
• Situations where epoxy or permanent solutions are impractical
Key Features:
• Reduced profile height for space-constrained installations
• Surface treated alloy steel for corrosion protection
• Economic alternative to milled chocks and epoxy
• Easy and fast installation
• Excellent value for re-chocking projects
• Individual surface treatment for quality and durability
• Maintains high load capacity despite lower profile
Benefits of Low Profile Design:
• Solves space limitation challenges
• Significantly lower cost than traditional solutions
• Faster installation process
• Corrosion protection included
• No epoxy curing time required
• Reversible solution (not permanent)
• Professional-grade performance in compact size
Comparison to Other Solutions:
Vs. Milled Chocks:

• Less mess and labor
Available Sizes:
Low profile chocks are available in 6 sizes to accommodate different bolt ranges: SM 16 (M16-M20), SM 20 (M20-M24), SM 24 (M24-M30), SM 30 (M30-M36), SM 36 (M36-M42), and SM 42 (M42-M48 bolts).
Installation Benefits:
• No epoxy curing required
• Immediate use after installation
• Reversible if needed
• Professional results in minimal time
• Ideal for emergency re-chocking situations
For applications with standard available space, consider our Carbon Steel (E-CS), Surface Treated (E-CSTR), or Stainless Steel (E-SS) options.
