Aven Tools 26800B-550-PCL Articulating Arm Stand with Vertical Post and Table Clamp
Aven Tools 26800B-550-PCL Articulating Arm Stand with Vertical Post and Table Clamp
The Aven Tools 26800B-550-PCL is an all-metal articulating microscope stand with a vertical post and table clamp, designed for examining parts attached to large or awkwardly shaped items. Its 800 mm total arm length, vertical and horizontal adjustment, and 360° horizontal rotation provide flexible microscope positioning across the work area. Move the arm aside when the microscope is not in use to reclaim bench space.
Best Uses / Applications
- Inspection of components attached to large or irregularly shaped assemblies.
- Electronics and production inspection requiring flexible microscope positioning.
- Shared workbenches where the microscope needs to move aside between tasks.
- Clamp-mounted inspection setups requiring both horizontal and vertical adjustment.
Key Features
- 800 mm total articulating arm length for positioning over a large work area.
- 384 mm vertical post with a listed maximum extended length of 254 mm.
- 360° horizontal rotation and manual horizontal and Z-axis movement.
- Table-clamp base avoids a large freestanding base on the workbench.
- All-metal construction with a black electroplated finish.
- 5/8-inch end adapter and 22.2 mm stand mount adapter.
- Manufacturer-listed horizontal arm maximum load of 9.07 kg (20 lb).

Choosing a Stand
| Option | Selection consideration |
|---|---|
| This articulating clamp stand | Flexible positioning around large or awkward assemblies, with the ability to move the microscope aside. |
| Fixed post stand | Consider for a dedicated viewing area with limited horizontal positioning needs. |
| Heavy-base boom stand | Consider when a suitable table edge is unavailable and a freestanding base better fits the bench. |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the total arm length?
Aven lists an 800 mm total arm length.
Can the stand rotate and move out of the way?
Yes. It supports 360° horizontal rotation and flexible articulating positioning. Aven describes moving it aside when the microscope is not in use.
What thickness can the table clamp accommodate?
Aven's description and features list a 0–40 mm opening, while its specification table lists 0–44 mm. Confirm the actual opening before selecting it for a bench, especially one thicker than 40 mm.
What mounting connections are listed?
The source lists a 5/8-inch end adapter on the horizontal arm and a 22.2 mm stand mount adapter. Check the required microscope mount and any adapters separately; these dimensions alone do not establish compatibility with every microscope.
How much load can the horizontal arm support?
Aven lists a horizontal arm maximum load of 9.07 kg (20 lb). Verify that the complete microscope and mounting assembly is suitable for the intended configuration.
Is a microscope included?
This listing is for the articulating stand, vertical post and table-clamp configuration, not a complete microscope system.
What does the 254 mm extension specification mean?
Aven labels this as the maximum vertical post extended length, separate from the 384 mm post height. The source does not define it as the total extended height, so those figures should not be combined without confirmation.
