Abstract
A radiographic device may include a base, a support arm pivotably coupled to the base and defining a support axis, the support arm being movable between a normal position and two diametrically opposed, laterally rotated positions, and a radiographic head coupled to the support arm. A tension assembly may be coupled to the base and a linkage system may extend between the tension assembly and the support arm. The linkage system may include a hub and linkage may be partially entrained with the hub. The linkage may include a pivot point joining the linkage proximal end and the linkage distal end. When the support arm is in the normal position, the linkage may be positioned with respect to the hub so that the lateral reference line also intersects the linkage pivot point.
