Basics of Torque Hinges Explained with Illustrations

[Understanding the Basics of Torque Hinges] "The sound of the door slamming shut is annoying." "I'm worried that the cover might fall and pinch my fingers..." Such stresses of opening and closing may be resolved by torque hinges. A torque hinge is a type of hinge that can hold doors, lids, or covers in any desired position while opening or closing. The ability to stop at any position is called the "free stop function," and it is sometimes referred to as a free stop hinge. Sugatsune Industrial introduces the basics of torque hinges, from their usage to the knowledge needed for selection, such as moment calculations. We hope this provides some hints for your door design.
