Internal Hinge Solutions - Invisible and highly flexible

There is an obvious trend in the field of connectivity solutions: In almost every industry the need for clean design, clear surfaces and freedom in construction is constantly growing. For different reasons:

  • A clean design is "trend" in almost any industrial market; even if it´s not architecture.
  • Flaps, doors and hatches become rounder, more curved and over all more asymmetric
  • Designer require more degrees of freedom in creating new and modern product surfaces
  • Usual external hinges go along with clearence between the door/hatch and the body
  • More over external hinges always cause problems with corrosion and (intentional) damage
  • ERGO: Under these circumstances external hinges hit their own limits

For these reasons we at Emil Kaltenbach offer a wide range of "Internal hinges" that directly refer to the above mentioned issues:

SEPTOMAX - Multi-Link-Hinges, fully internal mounted, with max. opening angle of 270 degrees (more...)

Profile hinges with individual specifications for heavy applications (more...)

Rolled hinges as filigree solution for almost any kind of connecting usage (more...)

Invisible hinges made as rolled version or as weld-on solution (more...)

(Asortment can be individually customized)
