Articulating Wall Mount Arm

▲ ▼

description Articulating Wall Mount Arm Overview

While not strictly a 'pole' mount, this wall-mounted arm serves a similar function for mounting displays in fixed locations like classrooms or reception areas. It offers excellent adjustability from a solid wall surface. Its primary consideration is the structural rating of the wall itself; mounting heavy equipment requires professional assessment to prevent damage or failure.

help Articulating Wall Mount Arm FAQ

What type of wall structure is required to safely install an articulating wall mount arm?

An articulating wall mount arm must be securely anchored directly into wood wall studs or a solid masonry wall to support the leveraged weight of a heavy monitor. Installing it into standard drywall without hitting a stud will result in the arm pulling out of the wall under tension.

Can an articulating wall mount arm hold a curved ultrawide monitor?

While some heavy-duty articulating arms can support curved ultrawide monitors, you must carefully check the weight capacity and VESA compatibility of the specific mount. Curved monitors are often heavier and wider, which can cause the arm to droop if it exceeds the structural rating.

How far can an articulating wall arm typically extend from the wall?

Depending on the specific model, a high-quality articulating wall arm can extend anywhere from 15 to 28 inches away from the solid wall surface. This excellent adjustability makes them ideal for pulling a display closer in classroom or reception area settings.

Can I adjust the tension on the articulating arm if my monitor starts to sag?

Yes, most quality articulating wall mount arms feature tension adjustment screws located at the central pivot points. Using an Allen wrench, you can tighten the tension to perfectly counterbalance the specific weight of your monitor and prevent unwanted drifting.
