Hinges are typically used for the swiveling support of doors and hatches. These standard parts are widely used in general mechanical engineering. Due to the wide variety of designs, there are virtually no limits to the possible applications.
Depending on the application, various features such as material, load capacity, attachment methods, as well as special properties like mobility, kinematics, and additional functions and features are considered when selecting hinges.
Heavy duty hinges also known as heavy-duty hinges or long-life hinges, are used for swiveling heavy doors, gates, or hatches. The hinge pins are form-fit pressed, allowing the hinges to be used even in high-vibration and shock environments.
Weldable hinges are fastened by welding at the point of use. They are ideal for heavy-duty applications, strong vibrations, and areas that need to be protected from vandalism.
Multiple-Joint Hinges also known as scissors or internal hinges, are mounted hidden and are not visible from the outside. Due to their design, multi-joint hinges allow a 180° opening angle for the flap, hatch, or door, providing optimal accessibility for the application.
Winco offers a wide selection of hinges with extended functionality. As standardized components, these hinge variants offer, for example, the following functions:
