Overview

The nVent VLPOST Post-Mount Adapter (SKU: VLPOST) is a precision-engineered aluminum adapter designed to securely mount the Syspend VL-Motion Arm onto a 3.5-inch outer diameter (OD) tube when structural surfaces are unavailable. Measuring 5.01 x 4.68 x 4.68 inches and finished in RAL 7035 light-gray polyester powder paint, this adapter features a heavy-wall 3.5-inch structural tube welded to a 12 x 12 x 3/8-inch thick baseplate for maximum stability and load-bearing capacity. The adapter includes all necessary hardware for mounting to the VL-Motion Arm and set screws for secure attachment to the tube, simplifying installation and reducing downtime. Ideal for industrial and commercial applications such as manufacturing floors, control rooms, laboratories, and data centers, the VLPOST enables flexible positioning of monitors, control panels, or display devices. Its modular design allows for easy adjustment and repositioning to accommodate changing operational needs without structural modifications. The adapter is compatible with the Syspend Vertical Motion Floorpost with Junction Box, providing a "rough-in" point for power and network field wiring with built-in cable management for clean, organized installations. Trusted by engineers and system integrators, the VLPOST delivers long-term performance and durability in harsh industrial environments.

How to Install the VLPOST Arm System

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the VLPOST arm system, including mounting, wiring, and adjusting the counterbalance.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, 1/8 inch Allen wrench, Spanner wrench

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Bronze bushings, Flange axles

  1. Mount the VLPOST Arm

    Remove the access cap and pass the Flange Axle through the plastic bushing and into the arm. Install the bronze bushing between the arm and the mount, then screw the Flange Axle into the mount.

  2. Install the Release Handle

    Adjust the release cable by turning the black cable adjuster screw until the free-play in the release handle is approximately 3/8 inch (9.5 mm). Ensure that the cable runs inside the arm to release the locking mechanism.

  3. Adjust the Counterbalance Force

    Lower the arm and insert a #2 Phillips screwdriver into the valve actuator hole. Gently move the screwdriver to release gas from the spring, reducing the counterbalance force. Repeat until the desired lifting force is achieved.
