SOFT-CLOSE DAMPENING HINGES IN PLASTIC
- Soft close dampening hinge: soft-close damper keeps lid from slamming shut.
- Operating angle: 115°.
- If the opening angle is wider than 115° (+/- 5°), mechanism is broken and damper doesn’t work any longer.
- Provide a door stopper to prevent from overturning beyond the prescribed angle range.
- Do not force the door to close faster in damper effective direction. It can cause damage to the product.
- When the door opening angle is small, the dampers may not work smoothly.
- Torque calculation:
Torque (N.m) = L (m) x 1/2 x W (kg) x 9.8 with:
• L = door height in metre.
• W = door weight in kilo.
- Operating temperature: 0 to +40°C
- 2 damper working directions available:
• part number 54-7-3543: damper working direction when opening the hinge (as shown by the arrow on the drawing).
• part number 54-7-3544: damper working direction when closing the hinge (not shown).
- Mounting examples: see drawings.
