neravnomerno oslanjanje

Soft-foot is a condition when all the supporting members (feet) of a machine are not equally supporting the weight of the machine or piece of equipment, this condition is referred to as soft-foot. When the machine does not sit firmly on its feet, soft-foot is a major contributing factor of shaft misalignment. As a result it can stress the machine housing and in-turn distort the bearing bores to that of oval shape.
