Product Information
Full details
The Ergotron LX Extension (45-289-216) is designed for professionals and home-office users who need to extend the reach of their existing Ergotron LX monitor or keyboard arms by an additional 9 inches. This extension provides a critical extra pivot point, offering enhanced adjustment flexibility for complex workspace configurations. While it is built with durable aluminum, users should verify their primary arm's weight capacity to ensure it can support the added leverage of the extended reach.

FAQs
Does this extension work with non-Ergotron arms?
No, this extension is engineered exclusively for the Ergotron LX product line and may not fit other brands.
Can I add multiple extensions to one arm?
While technically possible, adding more than one extension can compromise the stability of the mount and exceed the recommended weight capacity.
What is the total length added?
This module adds exactly 9 inches (23 cm) to the reach of your existing LX arm.
Is the installation difficult?
It is straightforward, requiring only basic manual dexterity to detach the existing arm segment and slide in the extension.
Does this impact the weight capacity of my monitor?
The extension itself is durable, but because it increases the length of the arm, it increases the moment force on the base mount. Always verify your total weight load does not exceed the manufacturer's limit.
Troubleshooting
Arm sags after adding the extension
Adjust the tension screw on the primary arm segment using a hex key to compensate for the added leverage.
Extension feels stiff when rotating
Ensure that the internal bushings are properly seated and that the fasteners are not over-tightened.
