The E6-73 Stainless Steel Constant Torque Hinge is expected to provide a long-lasting solution for a variety of applications.

Southco’s constant torque hinges ensure that panels never slam shut, even when users take their hands off them. This means fewer accidents, more convenience, and a better feel when moving a panel.

Usually, the more complicated a design is, the more potential it has to fail. The E6-73 is said to mitigate these concerns with a durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction that protects the internal mechanism from environmental wear and tear. It also boasts a 500h+ salt spray resistance. This lets the E6-73 withstand even the harshest conditions and maintain a high cycle life.

Finally, the barrel-down design keeps the hinge flush with the surface it is used on, providing a continuous flat surface. The hinge’s corrosion resistance also keeps it looking like new long into its lifespan. The torque hinge’s resistance also provides a higher quality feel for any panel it is used on, regardless of that panel’s weight. It guarantees smooth movement and eliminates gravity as a factor so users can access the panel in the way most convenient for them.
