Friction
and
torque
hinges
have
been
used
to
add
resistance
to
panels
for
decades,
and
come
with
several
benefits.
Their
resistance
makes
the
panel
easier
to
position,
makes
lighter
materials
feel
heavier,
and
keeps
users
safe
by
preventing
panels
from
quickly
swinging
open
or
slamming
shut.
However,
these
benefits
have
historically
come
at
a
significantly
higher
price
compared
to
free-swinging
hinges.
While
embedded
torque
engines
and
polished
stainless-steel
hardware
are
certainly
the
industry
standard,
they
may
become
cost
prohibitive
as
budgets
tighten
and
engineers
look
to
optimize
every
part
of
their
design.
Southco solved this price problem with their T6 Friction Hinge, foregoing expensive torque engines for precision stamping construction that tightly wraps the hinge knuckles around the pin, providing enough friction to remove play from the hinge without grinding or preventing movement. This process greatly reduces manufacturing costs, giving designers on all budgets access to the quality feel of a friction hinge. They also keep the benefits of stainless-steel construction, making the T6 Friction Hinge suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
“The T6 Friction Hinge offers a more cost-efficient solution, and the stainless-steel material offers corrosion resistance and aesthetic benefits,” said Southco Product Manager Stewart Beck. ” Its stamped construction helps keep the price down for all designers, while the added friction solves the play issues without the need for a high-end positioning control hinge.”
