Headrest Hardware Mounting Options: Basic To High Tech Solutions

These headrest hardware options are very high quality to match the use of your Savant Wheelchair Headrest and/or Axion Rotating Interface, they can also work with your current headrest and are a great option for mounting headrests of all kinds.

All use a standard 1 inch ball to directly fit the headrest. If you have a 3/4 or 5/8 inch ball hardware that you will keep, you would need the Whitmyer adapter as noted at the bottom of the page.

Multi-Axis Twin Hardware

This is a very adjustable universal hardware for mounting headrests. The range of adjusting allows positioning of the headrest in a more precise manner. The telescoping of the Twin Hardware is a unique feature made of anodized aluminum permitting fine tuning for head positioning.

Convenient for family and caregivers, especially when paired with our adjustable handles. The Twin Hardware may be used with the Savant Headrest for more comprehensive control and comfort as well any headrest which accepts a 1 or 3/4 inch ball.

Flip Down Twin Headrest Hardware

The Twin Flip mounting hardware easily and quickly moves the headrest out of the way while staying attached to the wheelchair eliminating misplacement. An excellent solution for lift transfers.

The spring loaded locking collar is clearly labeled and easily slides to allow the headrest to move rearward. When locked, the vertical post is rigid with no wiggle. Our most popular option!

Double Multi-Axis Twin Flex Hardware

This wheelchair hardware and adds a significant measure of adjustability to the Twin. We call it the “Super Twin” and it is a very versatile adjustable hardware for mounting the Savant/Axion. The range of adjusting allows 17″ (43cm) forward of the backrest positioning of the headrest.

The same great features of the twin with extended flexion range for those with forward body lean or kyphotic posture.

Dynamic Spring Loaded Hardware Option

The Twin Dynamic Hardware provides tone deflection and controlled horizontal movement. Force absorption protects the user, the hardware and helps to accommodate extensor tone. The spring tension includes firm or soft and can be changed at any time without tools. Firm is the default tension and if a softer travel is required, the softer spring can be installed.

The Dynamic feature can be turned on or off by turning the knob, providing a dynamic or rigid headrest mount. Spring travel is 22mm, just under 1 inch of horizontal tone deflection through the headrest pad. See more videos for demo

Link Headrest Hardware Infinity Mount

This is one of the most versatile solutions for mounting headrests. Rigid and strong design permits an infinite amount of adjustability. Uses aerospace grade alloy.

The Infinity Link is super lightweight, very low profile and easy to adjust. It is available with 2 or 4 links for extended reach and adjustability and can even position the headrest to the side.

Basic Headrest Hardware Mounting Option

The Basic Wheelchair Hardware is a dual offset configuration that utilizes a precision machined aircraft grade alloy that is half the weight of comparable steel hardware and is a versatile, very lightweight, sleek solution to mounting headrest which allows complete adjusting.

Use with the Savant Headrest for comprehensive control or headrests which accepts a 1 inch (25 mm) ball. Vertical Riser or Post – 13.5”/34 cm (to center of ball) | Vertical Offset 1 ½”/4 cm | Length of Horizontal bar 9”/23 cm. Width ½”

The offset horizontal and vertical posts may even be switched as needed. See more videos for demo

Note

The twins have a keyed stop collar. The piece sticking out of the bottom of the stop collar will slot into the little hole in the top of the mounting bracket. (The point being, the whole thing can be pulled out of the mounting bracket, and then dropped back in in exactly the same position and at the same height.)

The twin mounts higher on the back than the standard. A certain experience/skill level would be advisable for headrest & mounting hardware installation. A standard tool kit would be assumed.

For easy adjusting, eliminating the use of an Allen wrench and to avoid stripping the screws, there are Adjustable Handles. We have a Universal Headrest Mounting Plate, Whitmyer Adapters for cross product integration.

The hardware, except for the basic, is also available with a 15mm square riser or 12.7mm (1/2″) square riser instead of the standard round riser tube and/or 3/4 inch ball. No additional cost, just fill in note when ordering or contact us with the update prior to shipping. Allow additional time for delivery.
