Vaccon's FEB40 Adjustable, Fixed Extension Shaft & Bracket is a rigid, non-moving rod and support block assembly that mounts to 1.5" (40mm) extrusion. The shaft is adjustable to meet a specific height requirement -- once adjusted to the appropriate height the bracket is clamped withteh support block into a fixed position. The FEB40 is designed to be easily repositioned by simply loosening 2 collar screws and sliding the shaft up or down to meet the new height requirements, ideal for flexible manufacturing environments. For added adjustability, add an adjustable universal bracket to slide the FEB40 left or right.

Combined with Vaccon’s apple core style pump, the FEB40 Series extension shaft and bracket becomes a swivel arm assembly that rotates and pivots into any orientation (3 axis positioning) and then locks into place.
