Overview

The nVent Syspend VHD-Motion Arm (SKU: VHD26) is a heavy-duty vertical motion pendant arm designed to effortlessly lift, lower, and reposition HMI enclosures in industrial environments. This 26-inch steel arm supports loads up to 125 lbs with a field-adjustable counterbalance, eliminating the need for a separate release handle. The enclosure remains securely in place after repositioning, enhancing operational efficiency and safety. Constructed from durable steel with a light gray polyester powder paint finish (RAL 7035), the VHD26 withstands harsh industrial conditions and maintains NEMA Type 4 and 12 ratings when properly installed. Its dimensions of 10.18 x 30.65 x 4.86 inches make it ideal for machine-top mounting applications. The arm features a 13-inch vertical height adjustment and includes an internal cable pathway to maintain enclosure ratings. Compatible with nVent’s VHDWALL wall-mount and VHDPOST post-mount adapters (sold separately), the VHD26 offers versatile installation options for any facility layout. Trust nVent, a leader in electrical connection and protection solutions, for reliable HMI support systems that meet stringent performance standards.
  • 26-in. arm supports loads of 45-125 lb. with 13-in. of vertical height adjustment
