Overview

The nVent Syspend VHDS26 (SKU: VHDS26) is a heavy-duty, Type 4X stainless steel vertical motion pendant arm designed for suspending HMI enclosures in demanding industrial environments. Constructed from corrosion-resistant Type 304 stainless steel with integrated water drainage provisions, this arm ensures longevity and easy cleaning. It maintains NEMA Type 4X and IEC IP66 enclosure ratings when installed according to Hoffman instructions. The 26-inch arm supports a load capacity of 45-125 lbs and offers 13 inches of vertical height adjustment. The field-adjustable gas spring counterbalance, with under-arm and front tension adjustments, allows operators to effortlessly lift, lower, and reposition HMI enclosures without the need for locking handles. The enclosure remains stable once positioned. Designed for seamless integration, the VHDS26 interfaces with Hoffman HMI enclosures featuring a 60x60 mm mounting pattern (enclosure sold separately). It includes a 1.25-inch internal cable pathway to protect wiring. This pendant arm is ideal for applications in food processing, pharmaceutical, chemical industries, and outdoor settings where corrosion resistance and reliable HMI positioning are critical.
  • Corrosion resistant stainless steel housing with provisions for water drainage from 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)
  • 1.25-in. internal cable pathway maintains Type 4, 4X 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
