Friction and detent hinges
ELESA offers an array of friction and detent hinges for all of your production and facility operations needs. Friction hinges use a special, adjustable handle with a push lever. They operate with an embedded spring and toothing that rotates freely together with the door, without obstructing movement. Friction hinges are easily operated, even in limited space. Several selections of hinges feature a friction brake and torque adjustable friction settings as well, offering the option of adjusting the torque resistance and locking in various positions.
Detent position hinges are specifically designed to hold connected objects in place by arresting mechanical movement. They often allow for easy swinging action for doors or cabinets thanks to an applied force from the internal spring. Detent hinges can be created to open doors at predetermined angles but can also allow for adjustable clamping in varying positions and relative degrees of opening, partial opening and closing.
ELESA friction and detent hinges are available as part of several of our high performing lines collections:
- Clean: prevent debris collection; ideal for use in food and pharmaceutical production
- INOX - Stainless Steel: resistant to corrosion and harsh environments
- Profile systems: compatible with common aluminum profile systems
Choose from pass-through hole assemblies in 4, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 8, and 10.5 millimeter measurements and hinges in the following materials: technopolymer, stainless steel, and die-cast zinc alloy.
ELESA friction and detent hinges can accommodate both countersunk and hexagonal head screws. For each model of hinge you can find the maximum working load and the breaking load in the General Information tab that is within the Technical Specifications section, located near the bottom of every product page. To choose the best type and the right number of hinges for your intended use, see our guidelines for the correct application of plastic hinges.
