Description
The “Straight Transmission Arm” serves as an alternative to the standard articulated (hinged) arm for certain CAME operators. It is primarily used to overcome space limitations where the “elbow” of an articulated arm would strike a wall, fence, or other obstruction.
Important Distinction: Compatibility
It is important to note that the straight arm systems for Stylo and Fast 70 are not universal; they are model-specific components.
-
For CAME Stylo: The product code is STYLO-BD (Straight transmission arm and slide guide).
-
For CAME Fast 70: The Fast 70 series is almost exclusively sold and configured with the hinged (articulated) arm. While CAME offers various accessories for the Fast 70, the “Straight Arm” option is a signature feature of the Stylo range specifically designed for its compact form factor.
Key Differences: Articulated vs. Straight Arms
| Feature | Articulated (Hinged) Arm | Straight (Sliding) Arm |
| Movement | Folds at a joint (like an elbow) | Slides within a guide/track |
| Space Required | Requires clearance for the arm to “swing” wide | Compact; stays closer to the mounting plane |
| Best For | Standard pillars/large posts | Tight spaces, walls, or fences next to the post |
| Opening Angle | Typically up to 110°–120° | Often allows for greater opening angles (e.g., up to 135° for Stylo) |
