Company Profile
Design engineers with experience of electrical/electronic cabinet design will appreciate that these are common but specialist applications - just "any old" hinge from a trade supplier will rarely do the job properly or look right, or both. Consequently a perennial problem for specialist enclosure producers is the correct specification and cost effective fitment of suitable hinges. EMKA - market leaders in "everything but the enclosure" have very much taken this to heart and have developed probably the largest offering of specialist hinges available designed to suit the electrical and electronic industries requirements for enclosures and cabinets.
This specialist EMKA program 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 solutions 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 feature weld-on or fully finished items with traditional screw fixings or fast fixing possibilities. Opening capabilities of 120 degrees to 180 degrees 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 thermo-plastic and stainless steel, to suit the environmental and aesthetic requirements of the situation. Hinge selection for cabinets with prominent doors really is not now a difficult matter, especially since EMKA’s website now includes a simple drill-down architecture to guide engineers.
