Stainless steel hinges suit specialist cabinet builders
1 min read
EMKA has responded to customer demand with four new stainless steel hinge types as described in the company's ECHO catalogue supplement for 2013.
The 1056 stainless steel hinge from EMKA is manufactured from AISI 316 and takes the form of a 180° screw on hinge for stand-alone control, electrical, electronic or telecoms cabinets, intended for use in harsh and adverse environments such as offshore or in heavy washdown areas in food processing or chemical/pharmaceutical production areas. When coupled with stainless steel fabricated housings, the 1056 provides a rugged solution for lay on doors, it is claimed.
The companion 1110 180° hinge in AISI 316 is a pin retained design also for lay on doors where it fits an edge cutout. The pin is concealed for security but quickly extracted for easy door removal.
Internally mounted stainless steel hinging is provided by the 1031 where two types are available in AISI 304 suited to lay on door types. The 1031-U14 is a 115° hinge for 26mm door returns and offers two integral pins with a quick withdrawal mechanism. It sister version – the 1031-U15 is a 135° hinge for 24mm door returns featuring a single retained pin. Both types are screw fixed to the enclosure frame with welded on door components.
