The Story
The RAM® Friction Hinge Mount for Tough-Bar™ with Pivot Feature (RAM-TB-FH1-PV4U) is an attachment accessory that allows you to secure a tablet directly to the RAM® Tough-Bar™. Designed for smooth adjustability and vehicle safety, this mount combines a precision friction hinge with the RAM® Collar-Lock™ system and the RAM® Single Pivot Mount. The friction hinge provides controlled, single-axis movement—allowing you to tilt your device up and down (or side to side, depending on bar placement) for optimal visibility or quick access to vehicle controls, while the RAM® Single Pivot Mount adds further adjustability. This solution uses tooth-lock washers to enable pivoting up to 180 degrees and utilizes a barrel nut instead of traditional adjustment knobs to provide tamper resistance and added security while on the go. The integrated Collar-Lock™ system acts as a protective stop on either side of the hinge, preventing over-rotation that could send a device into the windshield or dashboard during adjustment or impact. Together, these components provide stable, vibration-resistant performance, even when supporting heavier tablets. This mount supports both 2-hole and 4-hole AMPS patterns, ensuring compatibility with RAM® holders and GDS® Docks™. Ideal for fleet, service, and personal vehicles, the RAM® Friction Hinge Mount with Pivot Feature delivers streamlined adjustability and added protection for your device and vehicle interior.
