DESCRIPTION
The miniature wrap spring hinge is comprised of one or several hexagon shaped housings, one or several wrap springs, a shaft, and two end elements. The wrap springs couple the housings to the shaft and simultaneously provide the limit torques for the hinge.
APPLICATION
The miniature, spring-wrapped, constant torque friction braked hinge is ideally suited for applications requiring the maintenance of an unbalanced load in any desired position throughout 360°, of a given rotary axis.
Typical functions of the friction hinge are:
• Adjustment of a lap top computer display screen for comfortable viewing.
• Friction braking of a cover, keyboard or an overhead door against gravity free fall shocks.
• Any application where precision braking is required
