Simotec Curled Hinge

Manufacturer: Shimonishi Giken Kogyo Co., Ltd
Model: Curled Hinge
A compact, highly functional hinge that can generate different torques in the opening and closing directions
Features
- – Free stop (stop at any angle) is possible over the entire range by balancing with the lid moment.
- ・By reducing the number of parts (only the shaft and mounting parts), space can be saved.
- ・It can be used in a variety of ways, taking advantage of the difference in torque depending on the opening and closing direction.
- ・360 degree rotation
Purpose of use
・Device cover hinges (protection of operation parts, panel protection)
・Joints of laptop computers, etc.
