There are additional cost savings to be made as the E6 hinge eliminates the need for secondary supports to hold hinged components in position.
Constant torque position control hinges deliver constant resistance throughout the entire range of motion. This enables you to easily position your mounted components such as doors, display screens and medical equipment applications, and hold them securely at any required angle.
The E6 Position Control Hinge offers the benefits of constant torque technology combined with contemporary styling in a lightweight, economic package. The plastic E6 series is available with both symmetric and asymmetric torque, offering a more refined feel in any application without compromising on quality and precision.
