The Ergotron LX utilizes patented Constant Force™ technology, a purely mechanical compression spring system that maintains display equilibrium without the use of pressurized gas cylinders. Material analysis confirms a chassis constructed from die-cast aluminum and high-grade steel. Specifications indicate a load capacity ranging from 7 to 25 lbs and compatibility with flat or curved monitors up to 34 inches. This mechanical architecture is rated for 10,000 adjustment cycles without tension loss.
Performance metrics demonstrate a 13-inch (33 cm) height range and full 360-degree rotation. The underside of the arms features integrated cable management channels to secure power and data lines. Unlike gas-spring alternatives, the mechanical spring system is not subject to pressure changes or seal degradation, providing long-term structural consistency across its service life.
Calibration is performed via a 4mm hex key at the elbow joint to set the specific counterbalance required for the mounted display. For monitors under the 7 lb floor, the arm may remain at its maximum height extension. The tilt mechanism is designed for high-torque stability, particularly when supporting ultrawide panels that shift the center of gravity forward.
For a tier-1 investment in long-term mechanical reliability without the risk of gas seal failure, the Ergotron LX is the recommended industry standard.
This professional-grade mount is categorized as a benchmark within the ergonomic monitor arms repository.
