Ergotron 97-487-800 – StyleView VL Auto-Retracting Keyboard Kit
Overview
The Ergotron 97-487-800 StyleView VL Vertical Lift Auto-Retracting Keyboard Kit is a field-upgrade accessory for compatible StyleView Vertical Lift High-Traffic workstations. The mechanism automatically retracts the keyboard into its storage position when the workstation is not in use, helping maintain a low-profile installation in space-constrained and high-traffic healthcare environments.
Technical Information
The kit is designed around the existing keyboard tray of the compatible Vertical Lift system and adds an auto-retracting lift mechanism. The assembly supports a maximum combined load of 2.5 lb (1.14 kg), including the keyboard, mouse, mouse pad, wrist rest and adhesive materials. The supported keyboard depth is less than 7 inches (178 mm).
Compatibility
The 97-487-800 is designed for new and legacy High-Traffic Vertical Lift systems. Ergotron documentation identifies compatibility with StyleView Vertical Lift models including 60-593 and the earlier 25-022 series. The kit uses the existing keyboard tray rather than replacing it with a separate tray.
