A compact design for smaller applications 10 May 2024

Southco has expanded its successful line of E6 Constant Torque Hinges with a compact, nylon version designed for small applications. The company’s line of position control hinges are available in a wide variety of torque ranges, sizes and materials to satisfy application needs across various industries.

Southco’s line of Constant Torque Position Control Hinges provide constant resistance throughout the entire range of motion, enabling users to easily position doors, display screens and other mounted components and hold them securely at any desired angle – fully opened, fully closed or anywhere in between.  The newest addition measures 45mm with a torque range of 4 in/lbs – 16 in/lbs and is 65% lighter in weight compared to the standard E6 50 Hinge.

Manufactured from robust nylon and stainless steel, the new E6 Constant Torque Position Control Hinge provides the benefits of both constant torque and contemporary styling in a compact design for smaller doors and panels. The nylon E6 series is also available with both symmetric and asymmetric torque.

Global Product Manager at Southco, Stewart Beck says: “Southco’s new nylon E6 Constant Torque Position Control Hinge offers corrosion resistant position control in a small package, making it an ideal solution for variety of applications requiring an economic friction solution to hold open smaller panels, doors and lids.”
