The hinges offer a torque ranges of 20 to 70 inch-pounds, with stainless steel shafts, nickel plating of friction bands, and additional corrosion protection available upon request.
Gary Bebell, President of TorqMaster International, said, “Our customers came to us requesting friction hinges which require high torque values in smaller sizes, in order to meet their product specification needs. We see an increase in new medical device applications requiring screens that adjust as well as increased demand for friction hinges being used for lids and covers. Therefore, we designed the new SB-500 series to meet and exceed the demands required of these new products being designed.”
