Overview

The nVent AST44 Swivel Tilt (SKU: AST44) is a cast aluminum, anodized mounting accessory designed to enhance HMI (Human Machine Interface) enclosure positioning. Engineered for compatibility with 4x4 pedestals and standard HMI enclosures, the AST44 enables 350-degree rotation and ±30-degree tilt for optimal operator ergonomics. The unit features a large center opening to accommodate cables with pre-attached plugs, eliminating the need for disconnection during installation. Both swivel and tilt mechanisms include secure locking features with large release knobs for quick incremental adjustments. The AST44 supports a maximum enclosure size of 24.00 x 24.00 x 16.00 inches and a load capacity of 75 lb (34 kg) when centered. Constructed from anodized aluminum, it provides corrosion resistance and durability in industrial environments. Integral stops at 30-degree increments between 60 and 180 degrees ensure precise positioning. Mounting hardware and gaskets are included for straightforward installation.
