70 SERIES

If you are looking for strength and versatility, look no further than the 70 Series Articulating Heavy Duty Arm System.  This counterbalanced system delivers up to 45 pounds of muscle, moves at the touch of a fingertip and offers the flexibility and modularity you need to meet your own custom design requirements.

The 70 Series Counterbalanced Section is offered in 3 different lengths and a variety of weight ranges while offering up to 28” of vertical travel.  Counterbalanced sections may be connected directly to a Mounting Method, Load Extension, or may be combined with one or more Rigid Sections when extended reach and horizontal travel is desired.

Don’t need vertical travel?  Try out our 70 Series HD Rigid Arm Systems, offering a wide range of reach and horizontal travel with a 100 pound weight capacity.

All DecTron® Heavy Duty Arm component pivot shafts are made of carbon steel.  Large bearing surfaces are oil-impregnated bronze and each includes a friction adjustment to eliminate free swinging if desired. Standard finish for all components is black textured polyurethane enamel, which resists chemicals, stains, abrasions and normal daily abuse.

OEM’s all over the world are mounting a variety of applications to this system including medical monitors, medical equipment, medical instruments, medical imaging equipment, dental equipment, ophthalmology equipment, vision and optical equipment, patient data terminals, laboratory analyzers, cameras, microscopes, scanners, automation, read out, and control boxes, and are now being deployed in some of the largest modern day machine and manufacturing environments as ergonomic solutions.

The 40 Series Precision Arm System delivers up to 24 pounds of support, unparalleled construction, and a design that will fit into any environment where aesthetics are a must.

This adjustable, counterbalanced articulating arm system is incredibly customizable to meet design challenges across a broad spectrum of industries.  With 12 inches of vertical travel, three different lengths of Rigid Sections, and an endless amount of configurations, we have a solution for even the toughest of ergonomic challenges.  If reach isn’t a necessity, counterbalanced sections may be attached directly to mounting methods.

If vertical travel isn’t required, try the 40 Series Precision Rigid Arm Systems for a wide range of reach and horizontal travel combined with a weight capacity of up to 40 pounds.

The 40 series is constructed using high quality, high strength aluminum, oil impregnated bushings, and steel internal components.  Every free moving joint comes standard with adjustable steel connector pins and friction adjustment to eliminate free swinging if desired.  The 40 Series comes in two standard finishes, a nice hand ground stain finish for a very attractive brushed aluminum look, or black textured polyurethane enamel great for resisting chemicals, stains, abrasions, and normal daily abuse.

The 40 Series is used all over the world in a variety of environments, including offices, science labs, forensic labs, forestry services, hospitals, surgical rooms, dental offices, photography studios, and police departments.

As with all of our products, if you can’t find the perfect solution for your project in our standard product line, please contact us with your unique specifications and we will work with you to develop a solution customized to your specific requirements.

FRICTION AND FRICTION CLUTCH ARM SYSTEMS

The DecTron® Friction and Clutch Arm Systems are built to give you a hand, delivering dependability, easy maintenance and long lasting performance.

Ideal for a full range of medical, electronic and industrial OEM applications, these arms are rigid and lightweight, can easily be positioned in all three axis, and will safely support loads as high as 8 - 14 pounds (depending on arm configuration), whether the system is folded, fully extended or anywhere in-between.

Here's how they work and the difference between the two:  The Friction Clutch has joints which move freely in the upward direction, allowing the arm to swing up and out of the way at the touch of a finger tip while down pressure engages the adjustable friction mechanism.

The Friction Arm, with identical appearance, specifications and capabilities, was originally designed as an answer for a ceiling mounted solution where gravity got the best of the Friction Clutch's combination free moving/friction joint.  The solution was simple, replace the Friction Clutch's internal joints with joints utilizing adjustable friction in both the up and downward directions.  This solution may also be used for any application where the Friction Clutch’s combination free moving/friction joint is not desired.

Both arms will hold a load which can rotate 360° horizontally and travel over a vertical arc of more than 145°. A 5/32" hex wrench is all that's needed for tension adjustment to assure proper vertical positioning and weight support. The load-mounting pin also has three-axis rotation to position it in virtually any position.

The DecTron® Friction and Friction Clutch Arm Systems have no springs to pop out or lose tension and no rivets to break. Other features include use of precision-machined steel within the joints for long life, adaptable mounting capabilities, and a maximum standard reach of 42 inches.  Hollow construction of our aluminum arm permits wires or tubing to be concealed for safety, appearance and ease of cleaning.

These versatile arm systems are currently being used to support diathermy equipment, bar code readers, ultrasound equipment, sensors, microscopes, tubing's, electronic equipment, optical assisted surgery equipment, medical phototherapy equipment, surgical microscopes, tele-video equipment, medical sensor equipment, and much more!
