An adjustable levelling pad comprising:
- a first component provided with first screw threads;
- a second component provided with second screw threads cooperating with the first screw threads of the first component;
- and
- a bearing element having a bearing surface cooperating with the first component,
- wherein the adjustable levelling pad comprises a protection cap fastened to the first component and extending towards the second component, the protection cap at least partially surrounding the second component and being configured to cooperate in a sealing manner with the second component,
- wherein the first component has a first maximum width,
- wherein the second component has a second maximum width greater than the first maximum width,
- wherein the protection cap comprises an annular mounting portion fastened to the first component and an annular protection flange extending towards the second component and radially surrounding an outer circumference of the second component in a sealing manner,
- wherein the annular mounting portion extends axially along an axis substantially parallel to an outer wall of the first component and the annular protection flange extends axially along an axis substantially parallel to an outer wall of the second component, and
- wherein the annular protection flange is connected to the annular mounting portion by a connecting portion extending along an axis inclined relative to an axis perpendicular to the annular protection flange.
