Abstract
A system for automated equipment cabinet leveling may include a foot leveling device for each foot of an equipment cabinet, each foot leveling device comprising a drive gear and a worm gear; a motor for each foot leveling device, each motor driving the worm gear of one of the foot leveling devices; a controller controlling the operation of each motor; and a sensor positioned on a portion of the equipment cabinet to be leveled that detects an orientation of the equipment cabinet and provides orientation data to the controller. The foot leveling device may interface with a foot shaft of the cabinet foot by a drive shaft driven by the drive gear, and the controller may drive at least one of motors to level the surface of the equipment cabinet based on the orientation data by extending or retracting at least one of the cabinet feet.
