Will this clamp put too much pressure on an IKEA Galant table which is about 1/2" thick?

I have no idea what the Galant table is made of or looks like, but I wound up needing got spread the force out a little bit. So underneath where the clamp screws up toward my desk, I put an old hard drive right in the center of where the clamp would hit, then tightened it really well, no problems since. I suppose one might use a small scrap of 2x4, but the hard drive was rigid, handily available, and dead without warranty, so it worked well. I will say after buying this monster, it does its job, but if I had it to do over again, I would have bought the one that has the heavy horse shoe "foot" on the bottom.

I have a Galant desk and use this stand with 3 24" asus LED monitors on it. It should do fine unless you are placing the clamp near a corner on the desk... but for good measure I would add a support underneath, like a 2x4 or something. The clamp opens up very wide so you'll be able to add a bit of stiff material underneath to help the desktop support it.

I think it might. The stand itself is pretty heavy alone and if you put the screens in it that adds more weight. You could add some thicker blocks either below or so top of the desk in between the clamp so there isn't as much pressure on the desk. My desk is glass and I have to use some blocks so my desk doesn't break.

If it is just particle board, it might be too heavy fully loaded down with monitors.

The clamp is metal with foam padding to keep it from scratching surfaces. Measure the depth of your table the clamp only opens up approx. 3 inches.

Thats about how much is actually clamped onto my desk too, just make sure you use tools to tighten the clamp, I should also note, I modified the arms on mine to go 3 wide, on a 6x6 monitor system

I can't see why not , it's clamp is large and pretty powerful , I use mine on an end table next to my recliner , the table is glass top with a wrought iron frame and it is clamped pretty good , It works perfectly , it will move a bit from side to side when pulling the stem over but it hasn't popped off since I purchased , I hope this helps to answer your question

The table I have this clamp mounted is approximately 3/4 to 1" thick. The bracket fits well with this thickness and is about 2 1/2 inches deep onto the table. I have a 12 inch flat screen television attached. The connection of the TV to the mounting on the end of the arm was at first wobbly, a few more turns on the screw and the wobbliness went away.

It should fit. The clamp opens to 1 5/8", so you have 1/8" clearance. Then, in order to tighten it, the lip of your table needs to be less than 3/4" wide, so that the clamp doesn't hit it when screwing it tight. The table being 3/4" is no problem.

I would put at least 1/2" piece of plywood or any wood/plastic between the glass and the clamp side just to be safe.

It looks like you need at least 2 inches. It is very adjustable to table thickness but not depth. The two clamp rods have disks at their ends that are just under 2 inches wide. You could try cutting a small hole in the side of the desk and sliding the clamp in?

I'm thinking it will as long as the Plexiglas is not too thin - such as 1/8" or less. Reason is the clamp has some weight to it so the material that will be clamped needs to be able to support the weight of the clamp without flexing.

The under table foot plate is a little less than 2 in and the clamp on top uses about 3 in. My desk has 2 1/4 in clearance and works fine.

The clamp mount for the Rode PSA1 is substantial and can open to about 3 inches and works well. I have mine clamped to an Ikea Galant desk (not as thick as your 2 1/8, but should mount on anything less than 3 inches thick). Mike A., Tucker, GA.

The clamp opens to 7 3/4". So your surface will be a little too big to fit.

I have used mine successfully on very odd shapes without the included corner pieces. Without seeing your lamp, however, I can only guess. If your lamp base is round without any strange protrusions, the this clamp should work. The key would be if pressure can be applied without twisting the band off the lamp base.

The underside is a grid of plastic molding. As you use your clamp it would be possible to secure a square of wood as a base to help steady and secure it. Or the feet of the clamp may well fit in between the ridges of the molding.

Hello Paul, My experience with desk thickness is that should be fine. I operate a business and have bought dozens of various mounts. I clamped this one to a plate glass desktop (very thin) and a very thick desk top. The key to securing firmly is having enough lip for the clamp to slide unto and get a good grip. Some desks have no lip and some not very deep. If not a deep lip, the issue of course is not the top, but the underneath clamp or the knob. The knob may be to close to a side panel to turn. I some cases, I have trimmed down the knob to get closer. Which then requires using a tool to turn and get tight. But that has worked a number of times. I also have secured this mount through desktop by drilling when no lip. This is a fine mount for the price. Very sturdy. Best of Luck.

The clamp is adjustable from 0" to 1-58" for opening size. The depth of the clamp requires you have a overhang on your countertop of at least 1-1/2" in order for it to grab. This unit works best on a butcher-block type table or drawer that pulls out from underneath your cabinet.

No - put heavy felt or something under the clamp. It needs the clamp to hold it in place.
