It all hinges on EMKA
Design engineers with experience of electrical/electronic cabinet design will appreciate that these are common but specialist applications; just 'any old' hinge from a trade supplier will rarely do the job properly or look right, or both. Consequently, a perennial problem for specialist enclosure producers is the correct specification and cost effective fitment of suitable hinges.
EMKA have very much taken this to heart and have developed possibly the largest offering of specialist hinges available designed to suit the electrical and electronic industries requirements for enclosures and cabinets.
This specialist program addresses the hinging of prominent/lay-on doors, with 23 different groupings of hinge types developed in parallel with the growth in electrical and electronic industries. The EMKA standardised solutions are special purpose designs to match a defined range of applications, environments, and performance criteria; with each type available in various sizes to suit door rigidity, sealing requirements, and door loading.
EMKA prominent door hinges feature weld-on or fully finished items with traditional screw fixings or fast fixing possibilities. Opening capabilities of 120 degrees to 180 degrees are available, as are removable pins or lift-off facilities to speed up installation.
Company manufacturing technologies encompass mild steel, die-cast zinc, glass-reinforced thermo-plastic, and stainless steel hinges to suit the environmental and aesthetic requirements of the situation. Hinge selection for cabinets with prominent doors is now a simple matter, especially since EMKA’s website includes a simple drill-down architecture to guide engineers.
