Spring hinges and shock absorbing hinges

ELESA provides a wide selection of Spring Hinges and Shock Absorbing Hinges, developed to meet the demanding needs of industrial applications. These advanced hinges offer reliable operation, safety and durability in challenging environments.

Spring Hinges: Automatic Return and Robust Construction
Spring hinges, also known as self-closing or self-retracting hinges, are characterized by their ability to automatically retract or extend doors and hatches to the closed or open position. This type of hinge is widely used in a variety of industries due to its wide versatility.

Made of glass-fiber reinforced polyamide (PA) SUPER-technopolymer and available with a matte finish, spring hinges can guarantee the following properties:

  • Smooth and silent movement.
  • High resistance to wear and chemical agents.
  • Excellent sealing even under extreme temperature conditions.

Operation of Industrial Spring Hinges
The automatic return mechanism in these hinges is typically based on an internal spring that is compressed during the opening of the sash. Upon release, the spring relaxes, generating a force that pushes the sash towards the closed position. The spring force can be adjusted to suit the specific requirements of the application.

Shock Absorbing Hinges
Hinges with soft closing, also referred to as soft close hinges, are the ideal solution for cushioning the closing or reopening of hatches with a vertical axis or hatches with a horizontal axis. Equipped with an integrated damping system, these hinges make it possible to:

  • Avoid shocks and annoying noises.
  • Guarantee greater safety in use.
  • Smooth and controlled movement.
