Ergotron DS100 Accessories – Extensions for Multi-Monitor Mounts

Ergotron DS100 accessories provide different ways to expand existing monitor stands and multi-monitor mounting systems or adapt them to changing workstation requirements. The range includes an additional monitor attachment, adjustable pivots and an alternative desktop mounting option. Compatible DS100 configurations can therefore be modified to accommodate different display arrangements, positioning requirements and installation conditions.

The accessories are particularly relevant for workstations that use several monitors simultaneously. Typical applications include offices, control rooms, monitoring environments and other computer workstations where multiple displays are required. The existing DS100 configuration determines which components can be used, as individual accessories differ in their mounting arrangements and intended functions.

Which monitor extensions are available for DS100?

An additional monitor attachment allows a compatible display to be installed on an existing DS100 crossbar. The attachment can be positioned along the horizontal rail, enabling monitors to be aligned within the structural limits of the system. This can be useful when an existing multi-monitor workstation needs to be modified or a suitable configuration expanded.

The mount must be compatible with both the display and the existing crossbar. Important considerations include the mounting pattern, monitor weight, screen dimensions and the permitted total load of the structure. The number and arrangement of existing monitors may also determine which positions are available for an additional attachment.

Installation must use the designated mounting points. Expansion is only appropriate when the original construction and its load limits support the intended configuration.

Clamping pivots and double pivots for flexible positioning

The range also includes adjustable pivots designed for DS100 pole configurations. The clamping pivot attaches a single compatible monitor to a suitable pole. It provides options for adjusting the display's orientation and can be installed at an appropriate position along the pole.

The double pivot offers another solution for monitor positioning. Its additional joint structure provides a different range of movement compared with a simpler attachment. This allows the screen to be adjusted within its supported movement range to accommodate different viewing directions and workstation arrangements.

The two pivot designs differ in construction and permitted load capacity. Monitor weight, required movement and compatibility with the existing DS100 pole should therefore be checked before selecting an accessory.

Careful screen positioning can help create an organised multi-monitor arrangement. Viewing distance, display height and sufficient clearance for the movement of the pivots should also be considered.

Grommet mounting for an alternative desk installation

DS100 monitor stands are available in configurations with freestanding bases. Where direct attachment to the desktop is preferred, a compatible grommet mount provides an alternative. It uses a suitable opening in the worktop to secure the compatible pole assembly to the desk.

The grommet mount can be particularly useful when a multi-monitor arrangement is intended to remain in a fixed workstation location. The desktop must be suitable for the specified installation and capable of safely supporting the complete structure.

Before installation, the diameter of the desktop opening, worktop thickness and stability of the supporting surface must be checked. The position of the opening is also important to ensure sufficient clearance for the displays and practical use of the available workspace.

All DS100 accessories must be compatible with the components already installed. Adding monitors changes the total load and may affect the balance of the entire structure. Stability and installation requirements are therefore especially important when configuring multi-monitor systems.

Ergotron DS100 accessories offer several ways to adapt existing multi-monitor mounts. Additional monitor attachments, adjustable pivots and alternative desk fixings allow compatible systems to accommodate different display configurations and installation requirements.
