SimXPro Elbow Hinge: Adjustable Arm for Monitors and More

Quick answer

The SimXPro Elbow Hinge lets you tilt and angle your monitor or dashboard for a custom view. Install it on your aluminium profile cockpit using the included hardware and a few simple tools.

Step-by-step installation

1. 1. Attach the hinge base to the profile: Slide the hinge base onto the aluminium profile where you want the arm. Use the provided M6 bolts and T-nuts to secure it. Tighten with a 5 mm hex key. Common mistake: Overtightening can strip the T-nut. Snug is enough.
2. 2. Mount the monitor plate: Attach the VESA plate (if not pre-installed) to the back of your monitor. Then connect the plate to the hinge arm using the supplied screws. Checkpoint: Make sure the VESA pattern matches your monitor (75×75 or 100×100 mm).
3. 3. Adjust the tension: Turn the tension screw on the hinge to set the resistance. A tighter screw holds the monitor in place; a looser one allows easier movement. Common mistake: Setting tension while the monitor is off can lead to sagging. Adjust with the monitor attached.
4. 4. Route cables: Use cable clips or ties along the arm to keep wires out of the way. Avoid pinching cables between moving parts. Checkpoint: Test the full range of motion after routing to ensure cables don't snag.
