The Flex Arm Mounting Systems are used for mounting Adaptive Switches or other user-provided devices to wheelchairs that have Slide-Track slotted rails as used on many of the newer model powered wheelchairs. The components that come with the Flex Arm Mounting System with 12-Inch Flex Arm are pictured above. They include a Mealtime Partners Flex Arm Holder for Slide-Track and a 12-inch heavy-duty flex-arm with a ball and socket swivel end module attached. (Two hex keys are also included for attaching the Flex Arm Holder to the UniTrack rail and for attaching the outer clamp piece that holds the 12-inch Flex Arm.) Mealtime Partners Adaptive Switch Mounting Plate Kits can be found at the bottom of  Mounting Products for Slide-Track webpage.

To install the Mounting System, first the inner Flex Arm Holder clamp body is installed using one of the slots on the selected Slide-Track 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 (12-inches) plus 3-inches for the end module, or 9-inches long.

When ordering, select option 1 - UniTrack if you have a Permobil wheelchair with the UniTrack rails; otherwise select option 2 - Standard-Track for all other wheelchairs with slotted rails.
