Axion Rotary Interface
Lateral rotation for your head support.
The Axion Rotary Interface for wheelchair head supports can be attached to most head supports and hardware. It allows head supports to freely rotate, improving the function of the user and reducing shearing on the rear of the head. Compatible with the Savant Head Positioning, Apex Head Support Pads and other manufacturers.
The Axion is available in three versions, to fit two sizes of balls 1" (25 mm), 3/4" (19 mm) and to fit Snug Seat (R82) hardware and head supports.
​
Each version is available for 60 or 90 degrees of rotation.
How it works
The Axion comprises of the base housing, curved rail and ball on a stem. The Axion is an interface mounted between head support pads and head support mounting hardware.
​​
The rail rotates through the base and with the head support. The base remains stationary. The knob underneath permits locking out the rotation and can be engaged at any position on the rail.
​
There are two rotation ranges, 90 or 60 degrees.
The Axion-90 rail is longer than the Axion-60 rail. This longer rail may project beyond the edge of smaller head supports. If in doubt, choose the Axion-60 series.
The rotation is 30° each way for the Axion-60 and 45° each way for the Axion-90.

The Axion is available in six versions, to fit two sizes of balls, the Snug Seat (R82) hardware and two ranges of rotation.

Installation
The Axion is fitted between the wheelchair head support and the hardware. Move the Axion fully left or right to access holes in mounting collar.
Once fully rated left or right, you will be able to attach the head support to the ball of the Axion.
