Specifying a Friction Hinge

Are you looking for the right friction hinge or torque element so that you have controlled motion, precise positioning and smooth adjustments? Use Reell’s “Hinge Selection Guide” to quickly sort through hundreds of products and narrow down your options. Also, watch this video for an overview of how I walked through this same process for an example proof of concept that I worked on. Your goal is to get a rated torque requirement (inlb or Nm) and then see what hinges or torque inserts will provide the needed torque. If you would like a hand, feel free to reach out. We are eager to support.
