General information

Features and applications

Swivel ball joint mounting clamps GN 487 allow precise and stepless adjustment of the ball pivot within the swivel range. This makes it easy to position and adjust components such as scanners, cameras and lighting.

Thanks to the efficient clamping mechanism, even small amounts of tightening torque result in comparatively strong clamping forces on the ball. To readjust the joint, the clamping must be completely released. The hand lever (identification no. 1) can be used to easily operate the clamping mechanism without tools.

For a permanent high stop torque, the contact surfaces of the balls must be kept free of grease. Exceeding the recommended tightening torques increases the stop torque but may result in increased wear of the clamping mechanism.
