Hinges for electrical/electronic enclosures

EMKA is promoting the fact the it has "developed probably the largest offering of specialist hinges available designed to suit the electrical and electronic industries' requirements for enclosures and cabinets".

The company has addressed the hinging of prominent/lay-on doors with 23 different groupings of hinge types, says EMKA's Andy Billingham. "These have been developed in parallel with the growth of the electrical and electronic industries." The standardised solutions are special-purpose designs to match a defined range of applications, environments, and performance criteria. Each type is available in various sizes to suit door rigidity, sealing requirements, door loading, etc. The prominent door hinges feature weld-on or fully finished items with traditional screw fixings or fast fixing possibilities. Opening capabilities from 120º to 180º are offered as are removable pins or lift-off facilities to speed installations. EMKA's hinge manufacturing technologies encompass mild steel, die-cast zinc, glass-reinforced thermoplastic, and stainless steel.
