The Industry Standard For Torque-Controlling Hinges
KATO Hexatorq torque controlling hinges now set the industry standard for reliable, cost effective motion control. Hexatorq hinges are innovative, high quality, metal and plastic resin hinge assemblies that offer an unprecedented smoothness of motion. They are offered in standardized sizes to meet virtually all common application requirements.
Conventional spring type hinges can lose their lubrication and seize up to damage mating parts if used in high temperature environments, or where excessive cycling increases the temperature inside the hinge. The Hexatorq design, utilizing a modern engineered plastic resin, requires no lubrication. In fact, in an elevated temperature application, Hexatorq hinges experience a predictable drop-off in torque, and will then return to preset torque values after a minimal cool down period. This means no damage to your expensive part!
We've done the testing for you! Our standardized range of Hexatorq sizes configurations was determined through extensive design and durability testing. For additional technical data on Hexatorq hinges visit the Hexatorq Technical Data Page. By utilizing a Hexatorq series hinge you can significantly reduce your typical design to manufacture time cycle. Add those savings right to your bottom line!
