The 5030 stand provides a rigid support for various
measuring instruments. Triangular bracing of the legs
enhances stability. The legs are removable and the
telescoping lower leg sections retract for
compact storage and easy transport.
The stand height is adjustable from
31" to 51½" (78.7 - 131cm)
using the center column and telescoping legs. A spoked
handwheel below the instrument mount permits fine height adjustment of the
center column within a range of 3" (7.6 cm). A positive
hand clamp gives extra assurance against accidental height changes.
The swivel head at the top can be rotated through 360° and locked in any
position. A standard 3½"-8 thread
allows attachment of various adapters or instruments. The column and swivel
head are hollow, providing a 1 1/8" diameter clear aperture for
downward sighting. A removable plastic cap protects the mounting
ring when the stand is not in use.
The telescoping legs are attached securely and quickly using attachment
screws which seat in a slot in the triangular shoulder unit.
The upper portion of the legs are made of aluminum tubing; the lower legs have a
stainless steel insert to prevent fretting and wear.
Swivel pad feet on the lower legs facilitate setup on hard
surfaces. The swivel pad feet can be removed and replaced with stainless
steel points which are also furnished with stand.
For a very short version of this stand, see our
5035. Or, if you already have a 5030
stand and want to convert it to a 5035, you can do it with our
5037 Short Leg Kit (below, right). This kit consists of
three short legs, trivet points, and required mounting hardware. Simply
remove the standard legs from the 5030 and bolt the new ones on. |
