TorqMaster offers families of stock friction
hinges that have been developed and fine tuned over many
years. We have chosen our most popular friction hinges and
have assembled them into families based on shaft diameter
and housing style. We have found them to be easily integrated
into new designs, eliminating the need for expensive tooling
and development programs for a majority of projects.

Hinge Specifications
-
Features: TorqMaster hinges have no
backlash or free play and minimal springback. Friction
elements are spring steel. Corrosion protection is available.
Please inquire regarding hinge conductivity. All shafts
rotate 360 degrees. All hinges feature constant torque
over life (30,000-plus cycles typical). TorqMaster hinges
are assembled from inventory for fast delivery with
no tooling charges.
Applications: Laptop & notebook computers, Flat
panel & LCD display mounting & positioning,
Medical equipment, Protective covers, Access panels,
Office equipment, Control Panels, Cameras, Computer
peripherals, anything that has to pivot....and stay
put!
Call us: Please fax drawings of your project to our
sales department. Our engineers will help you choose
the appropriate hinge, torque and torque directions
or detent options. Custom Hinges or variations of stock
designs are available for higher volume OEM applications,
however a semi-custom shaft in a standard housing can
often solve many design challenges.
* All TorqMaster hinges are available in balanced (same
torque in both directions) or unbalanced (higher torque
in one direction with approximately 35% less in other
direction) and in left and right hand configurations
