Nexxit ESD Stool
An ESD stool does one job standard seating cannot. It moves static charge from the operator to ground before that charge reaches a sensitive board. Pacific Ergonomics has spent more than 25 years specifying ESD seating for electronics manufacturers, defense contractors, semiconductor teams, and test labs nationwide, and the Bimos Nexxit ESD stool is the seat we recommend when that work happens at bench height.
The Nexxit grounds through every component, from the seating surface through the frame to the casters, with a typical discharge resistance of 1 megohm. That exceeds the requirements of ANSI/ESD S20.20, the U.S. standard for ESD control programs. The stool still has to be configured correctly. The seat range has to match your bench height. Casters above 25.6″ must lock under load. Arms depend on the task at the bench.
We confirm all of it against your benches, your flooring, and your operators before anything is ordered. Bimos backs the stool with a 10 year multi-shift warranty. If seating is part of a larger static control review, our ESD lab ergonomic assessments cover the full workstation.
Description
Built for Static Control From the Ground Up
Every part of the Nexxit is a link in the discharge path. The plastics are volume conductive. The steel parts carry a conductive coating. Charge moves from the operator through the seating surface, frame, and casters into your grounded floor with a typical discharge resistance of 1 megohm.
That exceeds the ESD requirements of DIN EN 61340-5-1 and sits well within the seating limits that ESD control plans built on ANSI/ESD S20.20 specify. There is no drag chain to snag, wear, or forget. The stool itself is the ground path.
Why an ESD Stool Instead of an ESD Chair
The seat adjusts from 22.4″ to 32.3″, which puts operators at bench and counter height where a desk-height chair cannot reach. The height-adjustable chrome foot ring supports the feet when the floor cannot. That matters at stations where operators perch between tasks, pivot between benches, or share a seat across shifts.
If your workstation sits at desk height, a chair is the better fit. See our full range of ESD chairs and stools and we will match the seat to the bench.
Active Sitting at Bench Height
The synchronous mechanism connects the seat and backrest so both follow the operator through reaches, pivots, and position changes. Core and back muscles stay engaged instead of loading statically through a full shift. Three backrest presets let each operator set the ideal operating range for the task, and the back locks when the work calls for fixed support.
Automatic weight adjustment matters in multi-shift ESD areas. The mechanism self-calibrates to each operator’s body weight. Second shift sits down and the resistance is already set. No manual adjustment between users, no one riding a stool tuned for someone else.
Forward Tilt for Assembly and Inspection Work
Soldering, PCB rework, and inspection under magnification are forward-leaning tasks. On a flat seat, that posture pulls the lower back into flexion for hours. The seat pan tilts forward up to 6 degrees, so the pelvis stays neutral and body weight moves toward the work instead of fighting it.
How the Nexxit ESD Stool Adjusts
Seat Height
Infinitely adjustable from 22.4″ to 32.3″ to match the workstation and the operator. We confirm your bench height before ordering so the range lands where your team actually works.
Seat Depth
The seat pan slides 2.4″, from 15.7″ to 18.1″, infinitely adjustable. Taller operators get full thigh support. Shorter operators keep back contact without pressure behind the knees.
Backrest Height
The backrest adjusts 2.4″ up or down so lumbar support lands where it should for each operator, not at a fixed point built for average heights.
One Lever, Seated
Every function runs from the operating lever while seated. Operators actually use adjustments they can reach mid-task.
A Seating Surface Built for ESD Areas
The black ESD artificial leather seating surface is PVC free, soft under the operator, and wipes down fast. It is hard wearing and resistant to oils and all commercially available disinfectants. The closed surface does not trap solder debris or shop dust, so cleaning stays quick between shifts.
Two options change how the stool works day to day. The optional black handle on the backrest lets operators reposition the stool without grabbing the seating surface. The optional 4D arms adjust in height, width, and depth and pivot in or out 45 degrees, so they support the forearms during fine work and swing clear when the task needs open reach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does an ESD stool ground the operator or just itself?
Both, as one path. Charge moves from the operator through the seating surface, the conductive plastics and coated steel, and the casters into your grounded floor. Typical discharge resistance is 1 megohm, which exceeds the requirements of DIN EN 61340-5-1. Your flooring and grounding still have to be part of the program, and we confirm both before ordering.
Do the casters break the ground path?
No. The casters on this configuration are conductive and complete the path to the floor. At stool heights above 25.6″, DIN 68877 requires casters that lock under load, which is exactly what the Stop and Go casters do. They lock when someone sits and roll freely when the stool is empty.
Do I need arms on an ESD stool?
It depends on the task. For close soldering and reach-heavy assembly, many operators work better without arms. The optional 4D arms adjust in height, width, and depth and pivot out of the way, so they support the forearms during fine work without blocking reach. Tell us the tasks at the bench and we will recommend one way or the other.
What is the seating surface and how do I clean it?
Black ESD artificial leather. It is PVC free, wipes down fast, and is resistant to oils and commercially available disinfectants. The closed surface holds up to daily cleaning in production environments without cracking or trapping debris.
Can this ESD stool be configured as a chair?
Yes. The same Nexxit platform builds at desk height with a shorter cylinder and no foot ring, with matching ESD protection, adjustments, and warranty. Tell us the heights across your floor and we spec both from one line. Pacific Ergonomics are experts in configuring ESD seating correctly for your ergonomic and functional needs.
How do I know which height configuration I need?
Tell us your bench height. The Nexxit ESD stool adjusts from 22.4″ to 32.3″, and we confirm the seat range, foot ring position, and caster choice against your bench and floor before anything is ordered. Ordering without that step usually means getting something wrong. We do not let that happen.
What is the warranty for multiple shifts?
The manufacture backs up the ESD Nexxit with a 10-year multi-shift warranty, including free shipping of replacement parts through the entire warranty period.
