The RK monitor mounting is high-strength, making it suitable for industrial applications
RK monitor mounting – high-strength, flexible and individually adaptable
VESA or universal mount for connecting monitors, displays or control panels
Monitors, touch screens, displays and control panels are used every day, and not just in the office. Industrial machines and systems are programmed or performance data displayed on modern touch screens or control panels. In utility vehicles, camera monitoring systems facilitate resetting and navigation devices make positioning possible. On conveyors, monitors make it possible to monitor and visualise all sorts of processes. Today, control panels or flat screens are often an essential component of modern assembly workstations, too.
Standard monitor holders and their disadvantages
Standard systems are generally designed for office applications. Industrial environments push these monitor mountings to their limits. For example, they normally can carry loads of only six to twelve kilograms and are not robust enough for use on machines, systems or assembly workstations. If exposed to vibration, shocks or frequent adjustment, the ball joints often used do not provide sufficient hold or have a limited lifetime. Another common problem is undesired adjustment.
Requirements for monitor mountings for industrial applications
RK monitor mountings stand up to the tough demands of day-to-day industrial use
The demands on a monitor mounting in industrial use are high: They should have a higher load-bearing capacity and be vibration-proof. In addition, they should meet the requirements for an ergonomic workstation. This means that it should be possible to adjust all degrees of freedom independently and separately, and without tools. Then it must reliably hold the device in the set position even if exposed to shocks. Another important requirement for a versatile monitor mounting is that it is flexible in how it fixes to a machine/system and the fitting dimensions of the devices. Often users make do with complicated self-made or office solutions, or oversized support arm systems. These solutions prove inadequate in the industrial environment in the long term or may be much too expensive.
RK monitor mountings stand up to the tough demands of day-to-day industrial use
Monitor mountings should offer flexible adjustment
RK Rose+Krieger has addressed this issue and developed a flexible and adaptable monitor mounting that meets the requirements of industry: The RK monitor mounting is designed for monitors, control panels and touch screens up to 25 kg and offers many degrees of freedom. The screen can be turned, tilted and swivelled and – if fixed to a round or square tube system – also height-adjusted. No tools required! All degrees of freedom can be adjusted separately via lever/handwheel bolts. With tilt-adjustment in 15° increments and vibration-proof locking.
Monitor attachment via VESA or universal mount
The RK monitor mounting is flexible: Choice of tube-mounting or wall-mounting, VESA or universal mount.
One great advantage of the brackets is the flexibility they offer for device fitting dimensions and for installation options. The user can mount the screens/control panels via a VESA Standard 75/100 connecting plate – in other words, with a 75 x 75 mm or 100 x 100 mm mounting hole pattern – or a round aluminium universal mounting surface. Thus, in principle, just about any panel can easily be connected up without special components. The monitor mounting can be mounted in the slot of any aluminium profile system using slot stones, or on any other tube, profile or any wall. The screws and slots stones required for installation on an RK profile system are included in the scope of delivery.
The RK monitor mounting is made of an optimised mix of materials: The wall mount and connecting plates are made of aluminium, the tube connectors of high-strength plastic. Since the construction consists of optimised RK standard products, the monitor mounting, including all installation options, is economical and available in no time.

Advantages of the RK monitor mounting at a glance:
- Choice of user-specific or VESA-standard monitor connection
- High-strength materials guarantee a long-term load-bearing capacity of up to 25 kg, for reliable processes
- Highly ergonomic thanks to personalised height adjustment
- Optimum adjustment of the field of vision thanks to side-turning
- Vibration-proof locking in 15° increments
- Swivel option permits portrait or landscape monitor format
- Connects to aluminium profile, and thus also to the machine frame using slot stones
- Universal mounting holes facilitate simple wall mounting
