Our product highlights: multiple-joint hinges of the series SEPTOMAX®

Applications:
Lids/doors in vehicle construction, in railway vehicles, in trailer construction, on cabinets and cupboards, lids of any kind with an opening angle of up to approx. 180 degrees.

Models:
Galvanised steel
Galvanised and chromated steel
Steel, dacromet coated
Stainless steel

Function:
The hinge is attached to the frame and to the inside of the lid/door. The attachment between the hinge, frame and lid is therefore not visible from the outside.
When operating, the lid/door is lifted and at the same time rotated to the top. After the rotation/lift motion the lid/door will be open to approx. 180 degree (180° hinge).
The motion and the "holding" in the open and closed state can be supported by a gas pressure damper or a spring. A connection for this purpose is added by default.
