The Ergotron 45-296-026 Interactive Arm, HD is a heavy-duty wall-mounted display arm with a polished aluminum finish, designed for active positioning of compatible TVs and large displays. Its Constant Force technology enables light-touch adjustment, allowing the mounted screen to be moved smoothly through its available positioning range.
Overview
The 45-296-026 supports displays in the 30–55 inch range with a weight capacity of 18–40 lb (8.2–18.1 kg). The arm provides substantial vertical and horizontal positioning flexibility for installations where the display needs to be repositioned between different viewing locations.
Interactive Positioning
The Interactive Arm HD allows the display to be lifted, swung, and turned into different viewing positions. It provides up to 20 inches (51 cm) of vertical adjustment and approximately 180 degrees of movement to either side, allowing the screen to be repositioned without removing it from the wall mount.
Wall-Mount Design
The arm extends approximately 24 inches (61 cm) from the wall when in use and retracts to approximately 5.5 inches (14 cm) when not in use. This range allows the display to be brought forward for viewing and returned closer to the wall when less projection is required.
Display Adjustment
The gravity pivot provides 25 degrees of total tilt adjustment, with approximately 15 degrees forward and 10 degrees backward. A lockdown knob can be used to secure the tilt position. The display also provides approximately ±5 degrees of post-installation rotation for leveling the screen.
VESA Compatibility
The 45-296-026 supports VESA FDMI MIS-E and MIS-F mounting standards. The documented mounting patterns include 200 x 100 mm for MIS-E and MIS-F patterns from 200–600 mm by 200–400 mm.

Applications
The 45-296-026 is designed for wall-mounted TVs and large displays that need to be repositioned frequently. Its interactive movement can be useful in viewing environments where the screen needs to move between different horizontal and vertical positions.
DC Supplies Product Note
For installation planning, verify the display's weight and VESA interface first. The exact 45-296-026 is the HD Interactive Arm configuration rated for 18–40 lb displays, so displays outside that range require a different capacity option.
