Function of Hinge
The Model PHK hinge is designed to provide constant torque throughout its full
range of motion. It is ideally suited to applications requiring the ability
to hold an object at various positions.
Environment
The Model PHK hinge was designed to resist corrosion. O-ring seals provide additional
internal contamination protection from moisture, detergents and solvents.
