Houdini
Just like magic, the Houdini ™ simplifies your choice of keyboard arms, because it works just about anywhere and does just about anything.
Short Return?
Corner Work Surface?
No Problem!
The Houdini pulls out far enough to work in a corner, but still retracts fully on a short, 17¾” track. Plus, it adjusts quickly and easily to follow various postures for low-risk keyboard positions. It does just about everything except check your spelling!
- Patented design works on both corner work surfaces and short returns by working like an extended mechanism but stowing like a short arm (CornerShaper™ is needed for 90º corners)
- Position indicators for both height and tilt are practical and attractive
- Soft-touch wheel allows convenient, stable, one-hand tilt adjustment
- Provides a total travel range of 8″ (5″ below work surface; 3″ above)
- Offers maximum seated flexibility, with a full 20º negative tilt and 10º positive tilt
- “Lift and Release” height adjustment is effortless and secure
- 360º rear swivel provides additional keyboard tray positioning

- Exceeds the ANSI/BIFMA x 5.5 – 1998 industry performance standard

Cleanliness is not optional in healthcare environments. Every surface, fastener, and moving component is subject to scrutiny because patient safety depends on it. That reality puts material selection at the center of medical equipment design – not as a final check, but as an early decision that affects compliance, durability, and long-term performance.

Engineers and designers often stop to consider what type of hinge a product really needs. In many cases, a standard hinge does the job – it’s affordable, reliable, and easy to source. But when equipment is heavier or used more often, those same hinges can wear out faster and compromise safety.

No matter where you live, work, or play, hinges are everywhere. You’ll find them on cabinets. On refrigerators. On cars and airplanes. They’re a quiet part of daily life that keeps things moving. Boats are different. They rely on hinges that do far more than open and close.
