About Complementary Mechanical Hinges
Safety hinges
Designed to guarantee the monitoring of safety gates in a solid and functional way, the safety hinge by COMEPI is able to merge the rotational mechanical part and the electrical part related to the block signal generation. Available in two contacts configurations (2NO + 2NC or 1NO + 3NC) and connection with cable or M12 connector. The safety hinge by COMEPI is difficoult to circumvent and useful in wet and dirty environments. Furthermore, the plastic casing makes the safety hinges by COMEPI particularly suitable in food industry applications.
Superior Durability and DesignEngineered using high-grade stainless steel and finished with an anti-corrosive coating, these hinges ensure both strength and long-term reliability. The brushed finish not only provides an attractive appearance but also adds an extra layer of protection against harsh industrial environments, making them ideal for heavy-duty usage in electrical cabinets and control panels.
Comprehensive Environmental and Safety ComplianceBuilt with halogen-free materials and tested rigorously for shock and vibration resistance, these hinges meet the strictest international standards. Their IP40 protection level and insulation resistance of 100 M ensure safe operation even in challenging conditions, offering performance you can trust across various industrial installations.
Versatile Application and Easy MountingThe panel-mount design supports quick and reliable installation onto most standard cabinet doors and panels. With a 180 hinge opening and single-module form factor, these hinges provide exceptional accessibility and flexible integration into electrical and automation systems, supporting maintenance and upgrades with minimal downtime.
FAQ's of Complementary Mechanical Hinges:
Q: How are these mechanical hinges typically installed in electrical cabinet doors?
A: These hinges are designed for panel mounting, allowing for straightforward and secure installation onto flat surfaces of electrical cabinet doors or industrial panels. The compact size and single-module format facilitate quick integration with standard mounting hardware.
Q: What environmental benefits do halogen-free hinges offer?
A: Halogen-free materials prevent the release of toxic fumes during high-temperature operations or in the event of a fire, enhancing workplace safety and environmental compliance in sensitive applications.
Q: When should these hinges be used over standard hinges?
A: Choose these hinges for critical industrial environments that require high shock and vibration resistance (10G, 10-55 Hz), corrosion protection, and compatibility with electrical systems up to 250V AC and 10A. These are suited for demanding scenarios where durability, reliability, and safety are essential.
Q: Where can these hinges be applied for maximum benefit?
A: These hinges are ideal for installation on electrical cabinet doors, control panels, industrial switchboards, and machinery enclosures-especially in facilities requiring strict environmental and electrical safety standards.
Q: What is the process for verifying hinge durability before installation?
A: Each hinge undergoes rigorous testing, including over 100,000 mechanical cycles and assessments for shock, vibration, temperature endurance, and corrosion resistance. This ensures they meet or exceed industrial performance standards prior to deployment.
Q: How does the silver alloy contact material impact performance?
A: Silver alloy contact materials provide superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, resulting in lower contact resistance ( 50 m) and reliable operation throughout the hinge's lifespan.
Q: What benefits does the wide operational temperature range offer?
A: With an operating temperature range of -25C to +80C, these hinges maintain mechanical and electrical integrity in diverse environments, from cold storage to industrial production floors, enhancing versatility and reliability.
