Selecting the Load-Bearing Capacity on the Spring Arm
The spring arm is equipped with 1 or 2 springs. These springs balance the weight of the
M6 service head with the end device (e.g. TFT monitor or medical device).
•
Select the load-bearing capacity of the spring arm so that the spring arm with the
M6 service head and the end device latches in every position independently.
If the spring arms does not remain in the desired position after adjustment of the spring force,
the spring arm must be replaced by a service technician.
For possible spring types see section 9.2.4 “General Technical Data”, page 101.
The load-bearing capacity ranges with maximum load-bearing capacities can be found on the
type plate of the spring arm.
