转环头支架mount

Mounting a swivel to your particular animal cage can be one of the most frustrating steps in setting up your animal infusion system. Improper mounting can lead to damaged tethers and added stress on animals. Instech has pulled from its years of experience designing custom systems to create this complete line of swivel mounts. Multi-Axis Lever Arms These counter-balanced lever arms move vertically and horizontally with the animal to prevent slack in the tether. Their sensitivity makes them ideal for awake-animal microdialysis and all types of infusion studies with mice. They feature an adjustable spring counter-balance, not a mass, which increases their responsiveness to an animal’s quick movements. The mounting plate can be adjusted for mounting to the side or top of many types of cages, including Instech’s tanks. Both the 6in-long (15cm) MCLA and 3.5in (9cm) SMCLA models include the gimbal which holds the swivel and the locking mechanism to keep the gimbal in its groove at the end of the arm. Versions of these balance arms are also available for metabolism cages and operant chambers for IV self-administration. Single-Axis Lever Arms This mount is designed for standard infusion of rats in shoebox cages. The mount pivots in the vertical plane to remove slack from the tether but allow enough length to reach all corners of an asymmetrical cage. The adjustable counter-weight can be set to balance the weight of our swivels plus a tether. The crossbar in the wire top must be clipped in the slot that the tether is placed for maximum travel.
