Spring-loaded pin hinges provide easy, quick access
EMKA has found that for infrequently used access panels, where a quick lift-off facility is needed, then a simple spring-loaded pin hinge is far more convenient than conventional hinges or panels that are attached by fasteners alone. The 1117 pin hinges are suitable for machine covers, side panels, equipment shroudings and other applications where lightweight panels are used and high degrees of sealing are not required.
The 1117 pin hinge programme encompasses the quick clip plastic-housed U6 variant, the U3 and U5 steel versions for screw/rivet fixing, and the U1 weld-on type in mild or stainless steel. All offer a spring-loaded steel pin, with quick manual retraction for superfast panel removal, and fully retained parts to make life easy in OEM assembly or on-site installation/maintenance.
Furthermore, the selection of pin hinges for all panel sizes is now a simple matter, with a simple drill-down guide accessible on EMKA's website at www.emka.co.uk, from where it is also possible to download details for any part or the entire EMKA product catalogue.
