The cam-stay is an easily operable and highly versatile telescopic stay that offers a wide range of multi-positional options. This solution is ideally suited for a diverse array of applications where the secure holding or support of a weight at various angles is required. It presents a cost-effective alternative to gas struts in situations mandating precise positional control, particularly in cases where the mass of the item being held is relatively low.
The cam-stay is a manually operated telescopic multi-positional stay designed to support up to 135kg. With fixed holding positions it provides quick and steady positioning for your project.
It is a great, cost-effective alternative to a gas strut where positional control is required and the mass of the item being held is low. Ideally suited for a wide range of applications where a weight must be held or supported at various angles.

Operating the telescopic cam-stay is easy. All you need to do is extend the arm until it locks securely into the position you need.
Now, when it comes to closing the cam-stay, it’s a little different depending on the model you’ve got. For the basic models, just fully extend the stay before bringing it back to the closed position. This guarantees a solid and dependable closure, keeping everything in place.
On the other hand, if you’ve chosen the reversible model, it’s even simpler. Just give the arm a slight extension out of the current position, and then confidently close it. No need to fully extend it before closing. It’s all about that flexibility without compromising on reliability.

The telescopic multi-positional cam-stay comes in three versions:
All of our telescopic multi-positional cam-stays are universal and therefore can be mounted with the holding slots mounted up or down. Mounting of the stays can either be directly to your application through the holes or by mounting brackets.
Basic – To operate the basic stay, all need to slightly extend the arm from its closed state until it locates into the required holding position. To close the unit, fully extend the stay before returning it to the closed position. The basic type is available with 5 or 10 holding positions.
Reversible – To operate the reversible stay, extend the arm from its closed position until it locates into the desired holding position. The reversible version can be closed between any holding positions, it does not need to be fully extended before closing. To close the stay, simply extend it slightly out of its current holding position and close. The Reversible type is available with 6 holding positions.
All telescopic multi-positional cam-stays are universal and can be mounted with the holding slots mounted.
