RAM Mounts ball with M10-1.25 inch threaded stud C-ball (RAM-349U)

How is the RAM Mounts ball adapter RAM-349U used?

The RAM Mounts ball adapter RAM-349U connects existing M10 threads with the modular RAM Mounts mounting system. The threaded stud with an M10 x 1.25 thread pitch is screwed into an existing thread and provides via the attached C-ball with a diameter of 38.1 mm the connection to various swivel arms and device holders. The marine-grade aluminum offers high resistance to corrosion and is therefore particularly suitable for use in maritime environments and humid conditions. The shaft diameter of approx. 15.9 mm ensures a stable connection between the thread and the ball. The thread length is approx. 9.4 mm and fits common M10 receptacles in various vehicles and devices. Thanks to the compact design and low weight of approx. 63 g, the ball adapter is particularly space-saving and unobtrusive.

For which applications is the M10 ball adapter suitable?

The RAM Mounts ball adapter RAM-349U is used wherever M10 threads are already present and a flexible device mounting is desired. Typical applications include motorcycles and scooters, where mirror threads serve as the attachment point. Many motorcycle mirror mounts have M10 threads that are perfect as a mounting point for navigation devices or smartphones. The ball adapter can also be mounted on boats, machine frames, and in workshops where M10 threads are often found. The C-ball allows the attachment of tablet holders, smartphone holders, navigation devices, and cameras. The patented ball-joint system allows the device to be adjusted continuously to the optimal position. In addition, the ball adapter is compatible with all RAM Mounts C-ball swivel arms, so a short, medium, or long arm can be chosen as needed. The modular system allows the mount to be reconfigured or expanded at any time.

What are the advantages of marine-grade aluminum?

Marine-grade aluminum is characterized by particularly high corrosion resistance. Unlike conventional aluminum, this material withstands the aggressive conditions in saltwater environments and also endures high humidity and changing temperature conditions. For the RAM Mounts ball adapter RAM-349U, this means a long service life and reliable function even with intensive use on boats, in coastal areas, or in environments with high humidity. The special alloy prevents the formation of white rust and pitting corrosion that can occur with standard aluminum in marine environments. The choice of material underlines the professional standard of RAM Mounts components, which are intended to work reliably even under the harshest conditions. RAM Mounts' 30-year warranty demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in the quality and durability of its products. Especially for professional users in shipping, rescue services, or emergency vehicles, material quality is a decisive criterion when selecting mounting components. Compared to plastic components, the aluminum offers significantly higher mechanical load capacity and dimensional stability, so the ball will not deform or be damaged even under continuous stress from heavy devices and strong vibrations. The rubber ball absorbs shocks and vibrations and thus protects the mounted electronic devices from mechanical damage. The ball adapter RAM-349U is compatible with all RAM Mounts C-ball swivel arms in short, medium, and long versions and can be combined or extended at any time with other components from the extensive RAM Mounts range.
