Broad range of hinges for electrical/electronic cabinets
Electrical/electronic cabinet design is a common but specialist application. Consequently, a perennial problem for specialist enclosure producers is the correct specification and cost-effective fitting of suitable hinges. EMKA has very much taken this to heart and developed one of the largest offerings of specialist hinges to suit the electrical and electronic industries requirements for enclosures and cabinets.
This specialist EMKA programme addresses the hinging of prominent/lay-on doors with 23 different groupings of hinge types developed in parallel with the growth in electrical and electronic industries. The EMKA standardised devices are special-purpose designs to match a defined range of applications, environments and performance criteria, with each type available in various sizes to suit door rigidity, sealing requirements, door loading, etc.
EMKA prominent door hinges are weld-on or fully finished components with traditional screw fixings or fast-fixing possibilities. Opening capabilities of 120 to 180deg are available, as are removable pins or lift-off facilities to speed installation.
EMKA's hinge manufacturing technologies encompass mild steel, die-cast zinc, glass-reinforced thermoplastic and stainless steel to suit the environmental and aesthetic requirements of the application. Hinge selection for cabinets with prominent doors is not a difficult matter, especially since EMKA's website now includes a simple drill-down architecture to guide engineers.
