Multi-jointed and pivoted mounting systems for support of a flat panel video display and/or keyboard tray, incorporating a plurality of pivot points providing for pivotal motion of one or more components about a plurality of vertical and horizontal axes. Support arms having elevational pivot assemblies, including plastic friction washers and gas springs, offer elevational arm control requiring constant and predetermined positioning effort on the part of the video display operator and keyboard operator.

1. A component support system comprising:an arm having a proximal end and a distal end; a number of pivot joints coupled to the arm, at least one of the number of pivot joints comprising: a first pivot surface; a second pivot surface; a polymer insert between the first and second pivot surfaces; a fastening assembly defining a pivot axis, and coupling the first pivot surface, the polymer insert, and the second pivot surface together; a component support surface coupled to the distal end of the arm; a mounting surface coupled to the proximal end of the arm; an adjustable spring mount coupled to the proximal end of the arm, the spring mount having an adjustable load counterbalance mechanism that determines an adjustable counterbalance force in a proximal end rotation range about an elevational rotation axis, the rotation range including: a first position substantially proximate to a wall; a second position substantially normal to the wall; a third position past normal; and a spring attached at a first spring end to the adjustable spring mount, and a second spring end attached to the arm at or behind the distal end of the arm, and the spring provides a countering force to rotation of the arm through the proximal end rotation range.
