Gooseneck tubing—often called flexible metal tubing or gooseneck arms—is a bendable, position-holding tube used to support, route, or stabilize devices. It can be flexed repeatedly while maintaining its shape, making it ideal for hands-free positioning in industrial, commercial, and consumer applications.
Typically made from steel, brass, stainless steel, or reinforced composite structures, gooseneck tubing combines flexibility, load-bearing strength, and durability, enabling precision positioning in dynamic environments.
Gooseneck tubing retains its shape without slipping—perfect for precise positioning.
From medical devices to consumer products, its adaptability makes it suitable for countless design applications.
Metal goosenecks withstand vibration, repeated bending, and long-term wear.
Options include:
A stable, adjustable arm enhances usability, safety, and ergonomics.
| Material | Key Features | Ideal Uses |
|---|---|---|
| Steel | Strong, cost-effective | Industrial, display fixtures |
| Stainless Steel | Corrosion-resistant, premium | Medical, lab, marine |
| Brass | Smooth bending, bright finish | Decorative fixtures |
| Hybrid/Plastic Coated | Better grip, aesthetic covering | Consumer electronics |
Identify the weight of the device the gooseneck must hold—lights, monitors, cameras, etc.
Longer tubes offer more range but require stronger internal support for heavier loads.
Common options:
PVC, rubber, silicone, or braided sleeves provide:
Heat, moisture, chemical exposure, vibration—each affects the material selection.
Gooseneck tubing is an essential component across industries requiring flexible, stable, and durable positioning solutions. When properly selected and applied, it enhances product functionality, user experience, and long-term reliability.
If you need custom gooseneck assemblies, OEM design support, or bulk manufacturing, this guide provides everything you need to make informed decisions.
