PHx / MHx FRICTION HINGES
The constant torque hinges on this page are suited for mount to a customer mechanics.
Special care has to be taken in the mounting area. The friction hinges provide a lot of torque in a small package which has to be supported by a fairly small mounting area. So this area has to be designed in a way that the torque can be supported without distortion or material breakage due to fatigue.
- 9 models
- torque from 0.2 to 5.8Nm per hinge
- equal torque in both directions
- PHK only 65% torque in one direction
In the table on the right side you can find the various models with data, pictures and links to the according datasheets and drawings.
New is a stainless steel version of PHC model, which allows the use in new applications, e.g. outdoor.
