New Extended Housing Constant Torque Hinge from Southco Offers Increased Resistance in a Smaller Profile

HONG KONG, CHINA – Media OutReach – 18 February
2020 – Southco Asia Ltd., a subsidiary of Southco Inc., a leading global
provider of engineered access solutions such as locks, latches, captive
fasteners, electronic access solutions and hinges/ positioning technology, has expanded its line
of constant torque hinges with a new version that supports additional
friction and reduced weight in limited-space applications. Depending on the
torque requirements of the application, Southco’s E6-10E Constant Torque Hinge
with Extended Housing enables the resistance of two hinges to be packaged into
one hinge, saving weight without compromising functionality.

E6-10E Constant Torque Hinge

Southco’s
E6-10E Constant Torque Hinge with Extended Housing provides increased asymmetric
torque for applications requiring maximum friction in small spaces. The
lightweight E6-10E Constant Torque Hinge with Extended Housing features a lower
profile than Southco’s standard E6 series, making it an ideal solution for a
variety of transportation applications with reduced packaging space, including
aircraft seating and automotive storage compartments. Like Southco’s standard
E6 series, the E6-10E offers a long cycle life and requires no maintenance or
adjustment over the lifetime of most applications.

“The new
E6-10E Constant Torque Hinge with Extended Housing offers a key performance
improvement for limited-space applications,” said Global Product Manager
Stewart Beck. “This high-performance hinge increases the amount of torque that
can be packaged in the available space, saving application weight, while also helping
to lower overall equipment costs.”
