Ergotron 98‑035 Mounting Component – The Core of a Versatile Monitor Setup

The Ergotron 98‑035 mounting component is the essential hardware that transforms an ordinary desk into a dynamic, ergonomic workstation. Designed specifically for the Ergotron LX Dual Arm, this steel grommet mount kit provides a secure, reliable attachment point for dual monitors or other peripherals, enabling users to enjoy optimal viewing angles and workspace flexibility.

Key Features & Design Highlights

• Material Excellence: Constructed from high‑strength steel, the component offers durability and resistance to wear over prolonged use. The steel finish also ensures a clean, professional appearance that blends seamlessly with most office environments.
• Precision Grommet Design: The mounting kit incorporates a grommet (tülle) system, allowing the arm to be inserted through a pre‑drilled desk plate. This design eliminates the need for additional brackets or complex assembly, reducing installation time.
• Compatibility with LX Dual Arm: The component is engineered to fit the Ergotron LX Dual Monitor Arm, providing a stable base that supports two monitors of up to 27 inches each. Its design accommodates the arm’s tall pole, ensuring full range of motion.
• Weight Capacity & Stability: With a maximum load capacity of approximately 500 g per arm, the mounting component can comfortably hold dual displays and other lightweight accessories such as webcams or speakers.
• Easy Installation: The kit includes all necessary screws, washers, and instructions for a straightforward setup. Users simply drill a hole in their desk plate (matching the specified diameter), insert the grommet, secure it with the provided hardware, and attach the LX Dual Arm.

Installation Guide

1. Select the Correct Desk Plate: Ensure your desk has a pre‑drilled hole that matches the 13 mm diameter required for the grommet. If not, drill a new hole using a drill bit of the same size.
2. Insert the Grommet: Slide the mounting component through the desk plate until it sits flush against the underside of the desk surface.
3. Screw Securely: Tighten the supplied screws and washers to lock the grommet in place. Use a torque wrench if available to avoid overtightening, which could damage the desk material.
4. Attach the LX Dual Arm: Align the arm’s mounting plate with the grommet and secure it using the included fasteners. Verify that both arms are firmly attached before proceeding.
5. Test Stability: Gently move each monitor to confirm smooth operation and ensure no wobble or looseness in the mount.

Benefits for Professionals & Creatives

• Ergonomic Freedom: The LX Dual Arm’s full range of motion—tilt, swivel, rotate, and extend—combined with a sturdy mounting base allows users to position monitors at eye level, reducing neck strain.
• Space Optimization: By freeing up desk surface area, the grommet mount enables additional workspace for keyboards, notebooks, or other tools.
• Future‑Proofing: The component’s robust design accommodates upgrades to larger monitors or additional accessories without compromising stability.
• Professional Aesthetics: The clean steel finish and minimalistic profile maintain a sleek look suitable for corporate, creative, or home office settings.

Maintenance & Care Tips

• Periodically check the screws for tightness; use a Phillips head screwdriver to re‑tighten if necessary.
• Avoid exposing the steel component to corrosive environments unless it is stainless steel; otherwise, wipe with a dry cloth after cleaning.
• If you notice any signs of wear or damage, replace the mounting component immediately to preserve safety and performance.
