    Bend-and-Stay Positioning Arms

    Stronger and with greater load capacities than gooseneck-style positioning arms, these arms keep their shape even when moving or when exposed to vibration. They’re often used in robotics and conveyor applications when frequent repositioning isn’t required.
    All accessories include the necessary hardware for attaching them to arms.
