The MH12 is a zero-adjustment, long life, drop-in replacement for existing “adjustable constant torque positioning hinges”.
Designed in a conventional door-hinge configuration with 270° of rotation, the MH12 features a durable lightweight glass-filled nylon housing over Reell’s patented ReellTorq® technology. At only 15 grams, it is 1/3 the weight of a comparable metal hinge.
Available in torques from 0.4 to 1.6 N-m (3.5 to 14.2 lb-in), all MH12’s have ReellTorq’s® superior quality feel and reliability.
