Pin down that Panel

18 June 2008 16:50 Company Profile

Is it a door? Is it a panel? No, it’s EMKA’s 1117 pin hinge program! EMKA have found that for infrequently used access panels, where quick lift-off facility is needed, then a simple spring loaded pin hinge is the optimal solution. This application covers racking side panels, machine covers, equipment shroudings etc., where lightweight panels are often used and high degrees of sealing are not required.

The 1117 pin hinge program 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.

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, where it is also possible to download any part or the entire EMKA product catalogue.
