The newest addition to the E6 50 Constant Torque Position Control Hinge series measures 45mm with a torque range of 4-16 in/lbs and is 65% lighter in weight compared to the standard E6 50 Hinge. Southco’s line of Constant Torque Position Control Hinges are said to provide constant resistance throughout the entire range of motion, enabling users to easily position doors, display screens and other mounted components and hold them securely at any desired angle.

Constructed of nylon and stainless steel, the new E6 Constant Torque Position Control Hinge is claimed to provide the benefits of constant torque and contemporary styling in a compact, economic package for smaller doors and panels. The nylon E6 series is available with both symmetric and asymmetric torque, offering a more refined feel in any application. Southco’s line of position control hinges are available in a variety of torque ranges, sizes and materials to satisfy application needs across industries. Southco’s position control hinges are expected to provide guaranteed performance without adjustment for the lifetime of most applications.

Global product manager Stewart Beck said: “Southco’s new nylon E6 Constant Torque Position Control Hinge offers corrosion resistant position control in a small package, making it an ideal solution for variety of applications requiring an economic friction solution to hold open smaller panels, doors and lids.”
