Create-Your-Own Workholders
Build a custom clamping system for holding lightweight objects such as beakers and laboratory equipment. First choose a base, and then add rods, connectors, and clamps.
Ball-Grip Positioning Arms
Ball-and-socket connections allow 360° positioning. Choose a complete arm or select a base, connectors, and a plate, grip, holder, or tray to build a complete arm.

Heavy Duty Ball-Grip Positioning Arms
With strength for higher load capacities than other ball-grip positioning arms, these arms have a heavy duty construction. Ball-and-socket connections allow 360° positioning. The base, connectors, and links are hollow for routing wires, cables, and small hoses. Select a base, connectors, link, and plate or mount to build a complete arm.
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
Base is for use with straight and tee connectors.

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.
Clamp-on bases have two arm attachment locations. Place arms straight or at a right angle from the clamping screw. Clamp-on bases with a rubber V-block can be mounted to rounded surfaces such as pipe and railings.

Robot Bases
Elevate robot arms with these bases so they can reach onto raised surfaces, such as conveyor belts or workstations. Made from steel, these bases are strong and built to last—they’re also machinable and weldable, so you can modify the mounting plates to suit your application. Secure them to the ground or other flat surface using the holes in the bottom plate. Additional holes are designed to level the bases—thread fasteners (not included) through each hole and adjust their depth to compensate for uneven floors. These bases are only for use at collaborative speeds. They are not designed for robots moving at high speeds.
If you do not see your robot model arm listed, you will need to confirm compatibility yourself. In addition to mounting hole pattern, you will also need to ensure that the maximum potential forces of your robot arm and application are within safe limits for the base's footprint, center of gravity, and any additional anchoring systems. Taller bases have a higher center of gravity and thus require heavier anchoring systems to maintain stability at higher forces compared to shorter bases.

Bolt-on bases come with mounting holes that match the patterns on commonly used robot arms.
Bases with cable routing hole are hollow, so you can feed cables, wires, and tubes through the center column. These bases help keep your cables organized and out of the way.

Suspension Arms for Enclosures
All Components Sold Separately | Example Configuration |
Example Configuration |
Hang your human-machine interface and swivel it around to save floor space and comfortably access touch screens, buttons, and other operating equipment. These suspension arms have already-drilled mounting holes that match our HMI enclosures. Route wire from your HMI components to a machine through a hole that runs through the entire arm. To prevent them from swinging too far and hitting people and equipment, locking pins let you restrict how far these arms rotate. Brakes lock their position into place.
Customize a system for your application—you can create hundreds of different variations. A complete suspension arm requires at least a base, a tube, and a mount. Add components to extend your arm up to 80” from the base and expand its range of motion. Arms without a connector support up to 180 lbs. Those with a connector support up to 135 lbs., but the load it can hold decreases by 2 lbs. for every 1” over 40” from the base.
Bases mount your arm to a surface. Wall bases mount to a wall, the side of a machine, or another vertical surface. Bench-top bases mount to horizontal surfaces, such as the top of a machine.
