Ergotron HX Heavy-Duty Tilt for HX Monitor Arm White
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Ergotron HX Heavy-Duty Tilt for HX Monitor Arm White (98-540-216) - 10 Years Local Warranty
The Upgrade That Lets an HX Arm Carry a 1000R Curved Ultrawide
The Ergotron HX Heavy-Duty Tilt Pivot (98-540-216) replaces the standard pivot on an HX Desk or HX Wall Monitor Arm so the arm can carry deep, heavy, deeply curved displays β the Samsung 49β³ Odyssey G9 being the reference case. A curved panel carries its mass much further from the VESA plate than a flat screen of the same size, and this heavy-duty pivot is what stops it nodding forward over the course of a working day.
Rated 28 to 42 lbs for Monitors 6 to 12 Inches Deep
The pivot is specified for displays weighing 28β42 lbs (12.7β19.1 kg) up to 49β³, with a chassis depth of 6β³β12β³ (15β30 cm) measured without the stand. Ergotron's own HX Wall datasheet points to this accessory wherever monitor depth exceeds 6β³ (15 cm) or weight exceeds 28 lbs (12.7 kg) β so if your panel crosses either line, this is the specified part, not an optional extra.
Protects the Arm You Already Own
At around 2 lbs (1 kg) and a fraction of the price of a new mount, the pivot upgrades an existing HX installation rather than replacing it. For Singapore offices, trading desks and gaming or simulation rigs that already run HX arms and are moving up to a G9-class ultrawide, this is the whole conversion β unbolt the standard pivot, fit this one, remount the screen.
Deliberately Controlled Motion for a Very Large Panel
The pivot gives 20Β° of tilt (15Β° backward, 5Β° forward) and 360Β° of rotation. The narrower tilt range compared with the standard HX pivot is the trade for holding a heavy curved screen securely β at this size, small, firm glare corrections are what actually get used.

When Ergotron says you need it: the official HX Wall datasheet specifies this tilt accessory wherever the monitor is deeper than 6β³ (15 cm) or heavier than 28 lbs (12.7 kg). Either condition on its own is enough.
Buying new instead of upgrading? If you do not already own an HX arm, the HX Desk Monitor Arm with HD Pivot (45-647) ships complete with this class of heavy-duty pivot already fitted β simpler than buying an arm and a pivot separately.

Frequently Asked Questions β Ergotron HX Heavy-Duty Tilt Pivot
What finish does the HX Heavy-Duty Tilt Pivot come in?
White, part number 98-540-216. That is the finish Ergotron publishes for this accessory.
What monitor size, weight and depth does it support?
Displays up to 49β³ weighing 28β42 lbs (12.7β19.1 kg) with a chassis depth of 6β³β12β³ (15β30 cm), all measured without the factory stand. Depth is the specification most people forget to check on a curved panel.
Do I need this pivot, or will my standard HX arm cope?
Ergotron's datasheet is explicit: fit this accessory where the monitor is deeper than 6β³ (15 cm) or heavier than 28 lbs (12.7 kg). Either condition alone is enough. Most deeply curved 1000R ultrawides, including the Samsung Odyssey G9, cross at least one of those lines.
Which HX arms does it fit?
The HX Desk Monitor Arm and the HX Wall Monitor Arm. SourceIT stocks both β see the HX Desk Monitor Arm and the HX Wall Monitor Arm. The pivot is not a mount on its own and always needs a host arm.
Does it carry one screen or more?
One. It is a single-display pivot. To run three screens from an HX arm, the HX Triple Monitor Bow Kit (98-009-216) is the accessory to use, though its own limits are much lighter at 26β³ and 10.2 lbs per screen.
Do I need a VESA adapter?
Not for a standard 100 x 100 mm or 75 x 75 mm pattern β both are supported. Some large curved gaming panels ship with a proprietary bracket and need the display manufacturer's own VESA adapter plate; check the monitor manual first.
Should I buy this, or the HX arm that already has the HD pivot?
If you already own an HX arm, buy this pivot β it is a small, inexpensive upgrade. If you are starting fresh, the HX Desk Monitor Arm with HD Pivot (45-647) arrives complete and saves a step.
Does it come with a Singapore warranty?
Yes. Every Ergotron HX Heavy-Duty Tilt Pivot sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice; Ergotron backs the HX Heavy-Duty Tilt Pivot with a 10-year manufacturer warranty.
