Soft foot is undoubtedly the number one challenge faced on an everyday basis in precision shaft alignment. The concept is simple enough; make sure the machine feet rest flat on the base. Unfortunately, it is not always so simple to solve.
Before sitting down to write this, I noted there are 17 articles posted on thealignmentblog.com that in some way relate to soft foot. http://acoem.us/blog/category/alignment-troubleshooting/soft-foot/
In a recent poll asking clients “what is the one alignment challenge or issue you would most like to learn more about”; about 20% of respondents answered “soft foot”. Specifically, angled soft foot solutions are commonly the most challenging.
