Monitor Arms & Accessories — Expert Answer
How do I maintain a commercial monitor arm for long service life?
Commercial monitor arm maintenance is minimal but important: (1) Annual tension check — verify the gas spring holds position without drift; adjust the tension bolt if needed; (2) Joint inspection — check all pivot joints for smooth operation; apply a small amount of dry lubricant (PTFE spray) if any joint feels stiff; (3) Hardware tightening — check that the clamp or grommet mount hardware is snug; (4) Cable inspection — verify that cable routing inside the channel has not caused cable abrasion at pivot points; replace any worn cables; (5) VESA plate check — confirm the monitor attachment screws are tight. With this annual maintenance, a quality commercial arm lasts 10–15 years. OfficeFurniture2go.com's commercial monitor arms are built for long-term commercial use — call 1-800-460-0858.
