EMKA HINGE SELECTION GUIDE
As market leader in the "Everything but the Enclosure" market, EMKA probably get as much feedback as anybody about what enclosure design engineers need day by day to solve the many and varied problems of building or installing specialist enclosures. This has led them to publish a simple guide to hinge selection covering flush or surface mounted doors with concealed or exposed hinges, including 180° and lift-off criteria, spring hinges and attachment methods such as the EMKA extra fast assembly taper pin fixing system.
The EMKA hinge guide is available on ww.emka.co.uk and deals with the over 120 different hinges which they offer for metal enclosures. Hinge materials include mild steel, zinc alloy, stainless 304 and glass reinforced nylon with a variety of fixing methods, adjustments, dismounting possibilities and finishes.
It is believed that this clear and easy to use guide will help design engineers to rapidly select a hinge solution with all the required functionality required by end users, with the most appropriate installation method for production, at a cost to meet purchasing budget constraints.
Says MD, Andy Billingham: "I believe it is our dedication to customer support in key areas such as correct product selection, that sets us apart from other suppliers and ensures that our customer projects can be completed on specification, on time and on budget."
