The TA2 Post Adapter allows a Ø1.5" ScienceDesk post to be fitted to an optical table or breadboard. With this adapter, post-mounted ScienceDesk accessories such as monitor mounts, keyboard rests, and shelves can compliment nearly any standard breadboard or table, increasing usable workspace.

The adapter features elongated slots and is supplied with a replacement post stud, together with M6 and 1/4"-20 bolts to fit to either metric or imperial work surfaces. Two adapters are necessary to attach the two posts required for fitting an overhead shelf unit. The adapter is fitted to the ScienceDesk posts via an M16 counterbore.

PSY221 Mounted on an Optical Table Using TA2 Post Adapters

• Strong, Melamine-Faced MDF Construction
• Shelves for 900 mm or 1200 mm Wide Workstations
• Hinged Clamps for Easy Fitting
• 300 mm (11.81") Shelf Depth
• Max Load: 50 kg (110 lbs)

The PSY221 and PSY222 Overhead Shelves span the width of the ScienceDesk and are supported by two 750 mm (29.5") tall posts (included). Slide the shelf along the post to the desired height above the work surface and then secure it using the hinged clamps. Up to two shelves can be mounted onto a single set of supporting posts. Additional shelves are sold separately; select the PSY223 additional shelf unit if purchasing the PSY221 overhead shelf and the PSY224 unit if purchasing the PSY222 overhead shelf.

Each shelf has two hinged clamps, allowing it to be easily positioned by one person anywhere along the post, without needing to remove the existing shelf. Simply secure the clamps to the posts, fit the shelf to the clamps using the M6 bolts provided, and reposition or level as required. For more details on installation, please see the manual, which is available by clicking on the red Docs icon below.

Our PSY240 LED light strips or the HDPS12 power outlets can be mounted underneath the shelf using the M6-tapped holes provided. Our TA2 post adapters, sold above, allow these shelves to be mounted directly to an optical table or breadboard as shown in the photo to the right.

Hinged Clamps Allow for Quick Attachment to Mounting Posts

• Strong, Melamine-Faced MDF Construction
• Tilted Shelves for 900 mm or 1200 mm Wide Workstations
• 12º Tilt from Horizontal Allows for Easy Viewing and Storage of Equipment
• 2 mm Thick Steel Support Bar Securely Holds Equipment on the Shelf
• Hinged Clamps for Easy Fitting
• 300 mm (11.81") Shelf Depth
• Max Load: 50 kg (110 lbs)*

These Overhead Shelves have a 12º downward tilt allowing for easy viewing, operation, and storage of equipment and accessories in the lab, as shown above. Each shelf has a 2 mm thick steel support bar on the front edge that extends 22.0 mm (0.87") above its surface to securely hold equipment and prevent it from sliding off of the shelf. This bar is attached to the shelf using seven provided screws.

The PSY150 and PSY150/S span the width of a 900 mm wide ScienceDesk Frame, while the PSY151 and PSY151/S span the width of a 1200 mm wide ScienceDesk frame. Two 750 mm (29.5") tall posts are included with the PSY150 and PSY151 shelves for direct attachment to the ScienceDesk frame. If additional shelves are needed we also offer the PSY150/S and PSY151/S, which do not include mounting posts. These additional shelves are also ideal if you wish to use our 1000 mm (39.4") tall mounting posts (sold separately) instead of the 750 mm (29.5") tall posts provided with the PSY150 and PSY151. Two overhead shelves can be mounted onto a single set of mounting posts. All shelves can also be mounted directly to our standard Ø1.5" posts.

Each overhead shelf comes with two hinged clamps for attachment to mounting posts, as shown in the image to the right. To install a shelf, secure the clamps at the desired height on the posts. The shelf can then be lowered onto the clamps and attached using the provided M6 cap screws. At this point the shelf can be repositioned or leveled as required. For more details on installation, please see the manual, which is available by clicking on the red Docs icon () below.

Our PSY240 LED light strips or the HDPS12 power outlets can be mounted underneath the shelf using the M6-tapped holes provided.

*Please Note: The maximum load capacity specification refers to the downward force on the shelf and does not directly correspond to the maximum load of the support bar.

These instrument shelves are smaller in size than the overhead shelves above and can be used to hold a variety of items above the table. The post of the instrument shelf assembly mounts to the upper rails of the ScienceDesk frame (as seen in the image to the left. More than one shelf can be mounted to the same post. The split-clamp design (see image right) allows the shelves to be installed anywhere on the post without removing the existing shelves. Additional shelves are sold separately but do not include support posts.

Using a TA2 Post Adapter allows the PSY191 shelf assembly to be mounted directly to an optical table or breadboard as shown in the image to the left.

A Ø1.5" post must be used with the PSY121 mount and is not included. An acceptable post is our PSY161 (below) or our Ø1.5" mounting posts (provided the post is long enough to accomidate monitor size). Using the PSY161 post and TA2 post adapter, these monitor mounts may be directly mounted to any standard optical table or breadboard.
