Materials and Finishes
Match mount material and finish to your operating environment.
Cast Iron
Good baseline for general industrial duty where cost and rigidity are priorities.
Steel
Preferred for higher shock/vibration and demanding mechanical loading profiles.
Corrosion Resistance
Use protective finishing and verify exposure to cleaners, moisture, and salts.
Quick Use-Case Matrix
| Environment | Typical Material | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| General indoor manufacturing | Cast iron | Cost and repeatability |
| High vibration / impact | Steel | Mechanical robustness |
| Corrosive or washdown-adjacent | Protected finish options | Surface life and maintenance intervals |
