Free Stop and Lock Monitor Arm for Industrial Touch-Screen Applications
For engineers specifying operator interfaces, machine controls, diagnostic stations, or other industrial displays, Sugatsune America’s KA-T100S50-P2-BL provides controlled monitor positioning with an auxiliary locking mechanism designed to reduce unintended movement.
This free-stop and lock computer monitor mounting arm lets a mounted display tilt and swivel into the required viewing position, then stay there during use. The system secures the touch screen reliably against forceful taps, ensuring stable interaction throughout daily operation.
The KA-T100S50-P2-BL is manufactured in a black finish and is designed for 12” to 23” monitors weighing up to 22 lbs. The mounting bracket offers a standardized VESA interface that accepts 75 x 75 mm and 100 x 100 mm display patterns.
Controlled Positioning for Industrial Touch-Screen Interfaces
Unlike a basic monitor bracket, this locking computer monitor mount combines free positioning with an auxiliary lock. Operators can easily alter the tilt or swivel angle, while the integrated clamp guarantees zero drift once locked in place.
That distinction matters in industrial environments where operators may press directly against a touch screen, change settings repeatedly, or work at the display throughout a production cycle. By eliminating unwanted drift, system designers ensure that critical operator touchpoints remain exactly where intended.
A monitor that stays where it is set helps preserve the intended viewing angle and operator access point without frequent repositioning.
Engineering Details for Equipment Integration
The KA-T100S50-P3-BL adjustable monitor mount is finished in black. It features a lightweight aluminum alloy arm that securely mounts monitors to a steel mounting plate and supports 12” to 23” monitors weighing up to 22 lbs (10 kg). The mounting plate complies with VESA 75 x 75 and 100 x 100 standards, making it compatible with a wide range of screens.
The double arm features two pivot points that rotate 360°, while the mounting bracket provides free-stop support that allows the monitor to rotate 95° in either direction and hold at any angle along its path. It also includes a friction-element tilt function with a 40° tilt range and free-stop throughout.
The entire KA-T series line-up of monitor mounts and brackets includes free-stop, locking, and multiple articulating configurations for applications that require different reach or installation geometries.
Best of all, the auxiliary lock eliminates unwanted movement and adds stability to minimize screen oscillations. Still, it will release temporarily if an unintended heavy load, like a person, runs into it.
Sugatsune America develops precision-engineered hardware for industrial applications including machinery, industrial equipment, vehicles, aerospace, office furniture, and specialized medical casework. Maintaining AS9120 B and ISO 9001:2015 certifications, the company ensures high quality control across every hardware line.

FAQs
What VESA patterns does the KA-T100S50-P2-BL support?
The arm supports 75 x 75 mm and 100 x 100 mm VESA hole patterns. Always double-check monitor dimensions, clearance margins, and wire pathways before finalizing hardware selection.
Why is the auxiliary lock useful on an industrial touch-screen monitor?
Touch-screen operation introduces direct physical input at the display. By locking the arm after adjustment, the display resists screen deflection during repetitive user inputs on interactive interfaces.
What should engineers review before integrating this monitor arm into equipment?
Confirm the VESA pattern, available mounting space, required tilt and swivel access, closed dimensions, fastener requirements, and the relationship between the display and the operator interface. Import CAD drawings into your primary assembly file to test spatial clearances early in development.
