Overview

The nVent Syspend VHD36 Motion Arm (SKU: VHD36) is a heavy-duty vertical pendant arm designed for precise HMI enclosure management in industrial environments. Engineered for machine-top mounting, this 36-inch arm provides 20 inches of vertical travel and supports loads up to 125 lbs with field-adjustable counterbalance. Unlike traditional systems, it eliminates the need for a release handle—enclosures remain securely in place after repositioning, enhancing safety and operational efficiency in fast-paced manufacturing settings. Built from durable steel with a RAL 7035 light-gray polyester powder paint finish, the VHD36 delivers corrosion resistance and durability in NEMA Type 4 and IEC IP66 environments. Its compact dimensions (10.18 x 40.65 x 4.86 inches / 259 x 1033 x 123 mm) and 1.25-inch internal cable pathway ensure compatibility with a wide range of HMI enclosures while maintaining enclosure ratings. The arm’s intuitive design allows for effortless lifting, lowering, and fine-tuning of lifting force via an adjustable mechanism under the arm.
  • 26-in. arm supports loads of 45-125 lb. with 13-in. of vertical height adjustment
  • 36-in. arm supports loads of 25-75 lb. with 20-in. of vertical height adjustment
  • Field-adjustable gas spring counterbalance allows the user to adjust lifting force by turning an adjustment mechanism under the arm
  • Angle of gas springs is adjustable (not the pressure); allows lifting force to be increased or decreased at any time for changes in load
  • Tension adjustment at front of the arm provides additional fine-tuning of lifting force
  • Easily attach to an HMI enclosure using a 60-x-60-mm enclosure mounting pattern (enclosure must be ordered separately)
  • 1.3-in. internal cable pathway maintains NEMA Type 4 and 12 enclosure rating and protects wires and cables
  • Gasketed mounting surfaces at both ends of arm maintain seal integrity
  • Enclosure and arm can be swiveled 330 degrees with swivel stops available in 30-degree increments
  • Standard models are available with machine-top mounting (wall-mount and post-mount adapters sold separately)
