ST - Counterbalanced Embedded Hinges


Overview
Counterbalanced position control hinges, available across a range of torque values, provide a refined solution for positioning heavier objects. They eliminate the need for door stays, require no adjustments, fit in minimal space, and easily integrate into product designs. Constant-torque technology holds panels steady in any desired position throughout the full range of motion.
