Flex Arm Mounting System with 24-Inch Flex Arm for UniTrack - Components 
 

The Flex Arm Mounting Systems are used for mounting Adaptive Switches or other user-provided devices to wheelchairs that have UniTrack rails as used on many of the Permobil powered wheelchairs. The components that come with the Flex Arm Mounting System with 24-Inch Flex Arm are pictured above. They include a Mealtime Partners Flex Arm Holder for UniTrack and a 24-inch heavy-duty flex-arm with a ball and socket swivel end module attached. Mealtime Partners Adaptive Switch Mounting Plate Kits can be found at the bottom of Mounting Products for UniTrack webpage.

To install the Mounting System, first the inner Flex Arm Holder clamp body is installed using one of the slots on the selected UniTrack rail. Next, the outer Flex Arm Holder clamp body is attached to the inner Flex Arm clamp using the two socket head screws that are provided. Do not tighten the screws fully until the Flex Arm is inserted into the Flex Arm Holder. The two socket head screws can then be fully tightened (using the hex key provided). The Flex Arm and swivel module can then be formed to the shape necessary to best serve the user.

A 1/4"-20 X 3/4" machine screw can be used to attach any lightweight object to the end of the swivel module. The Flex Arm Mounting Systems will support user provided devices up to around 1.25 lbs (20 ounces) depending on the length of the Flex Arm and the how it is shaped. The overall length of this Mounting System is approximately the length of the Flex Arm (24-inches) plus 3-inches for the end module, or 9-inches long.
