Overview
The Ergotron Interactive Arm VHD, part number 45-304-026, is a very-heavy-duty articulating wall mount designed for large, heavy televisions and professional displays. Its polished aluminum finish and articulated arm support adjustable screen positioning in installations where a fixed wall mount would not provide sufficient movement.
The arm uses Ergotron Constant Force technology to facilitate smooth repositioning. Users can move the display vertically and horizontally, swing it away from the wall, and adjust its viewing angle to suit the installation.
Display Capacity and Movement
The Interactive Arm VHD supports displays weighing between 15.9 and 31.8 kg (35–70 lb). Ergotron's product documentation identifies compatible display sizes from approximately 30 inches to 60 inches or larger, provided the display remains within the supported weight range and has a compatible mounting interface.
The arm provides up to 51 cm of vertical adjustment. Its articulated construction allows the display to extend away from the wall and retract when less projection is required. The gravity pivot supports tilt adjustment, and the locking knob can secure the selected tilt position.
A post-installation leveling adjustment of plus or minus 5 degrees helps correct the display's alignment after installation. The arm also provides horizontal movement for repositioning the screen within the available space.
Mounting Interface and Compatibility
The mounting assembly supports VESA MIS-E and MIS-F display interfaces. MIS-E commonly uses a 200 × 100 mm mounting pattern, while MIS-F accommodates larger mounting patterns within the standard's supported dimensions. The exact pattern required depends on the display.
Before purchasing, verify the display's weight without exceeding the mount's rated capacity, the VESA hole pattern, the mounting hardware requirements, and the clearance needed for the screen to move. A large display is not automatically compatible simply because its weight is within range.
Wall Installation
The Interactive Arm VHD is designed for wall mounting. The wall structure and mounting method must be suitable for the combined load of the arm and display. Installation requirements vary with wall construction, so the manufacturer's installation instructions should be followed for the selected mounting surface.
Plan the installation position with the display's dimensions and movement range in mind. Adequate clearance is necessary to swing and reposition a large screen without interference from adjacent walls, furniture, or other equipment.
Key Features
- Very-heavy-duty support: Accommodates compatible displays weighing 15.9–31.8 kg.
- Constant Force technology: Supports smooth, light-touch adjustment of the mounted display.
- Vertical adjustment: Provides up to 51 cm of lift for changing the screen's viewing height.
- Articulated wall mounting: Allows the display to swing, extend, retract, and move horizontally.
- Gravity pivot: Provides tilt adjustment, with a locking knob to secure the selected tilt position.
Applications
The Interactive Arm VHD can be used in meeting rooms, presentation areas, training facilities, collaborative workspaces, and other professional environments that require adjustable positioning of large displays. Its high load capacity makes it suitable for compatible screens that exceed the capacity of lighter-duty monitor arms.
DC Supplies Product Note
Check the display's mounting pattern and actual weight before selecting this arm. The VHD designation identifies a very-heavy-duty configuration, not universal compatibility with every large television. Confirm that the display falls within the 15.9–31.8 kg load range, uses a supported MIS-E or MIS-F mounting interface, and can be installed securely on the intended wall.

Frequently Asked Questions
What displays are compatible with the Ergotron 45-304-026?
The Interactive Arm VHD is designed for compatible large displays weighing 15.9–31.8 kg. The display must also have a supported VESA MIS-E or MIS-F mounting interface and sufficient clearance for the arm's movement.
How much vertical adjustment does this arm provide?
The arm provides up to 51 cm (20 inches) of vertical adjustment.
Can the display be moved after installation?
Yes. The articulated arm allows the mounted display to be repositioned horizontally and vertically. The gravity pivot also supports tilt adjustment.
Does the mount support VESA MIS-D displays?
The documented mounting interfaces for this model are VESA MIS-E and MIS-F. A display using only MIS-D should not be assumed compatible without a manufacturer-approved mounting solution.
What should be checked before installing the arm?
Confirm the display weight, VESA mounting pattern, required mounting hardware, wall construction, and available movement clearance. Follow Ergotron's installation instructions for the intended wall surface.
