Door Hinge Friction Calculation

As a designer and manufacturer of torque hinges leeco offers standard lines of torque hinge products that can be applied to most position control applications.

Door hinge friction calculation.

Where n is the normal force and μ is the friction coefficient for your materials and whether they re stationary or moving. Some versions are available with asymetric behaviour up to almost one directional torque hinge e g. A constant torque hinge friction hinge position hinge is used to hold e g. Most friction hinges have the same torque in either direction.

A monitor or display or any sort of flip machine covers in the desired position. For example if the door can only be opened 120 degrees and the torque is 3 360 nm the friction is 403 200 newtons 120 x 3360 403 200. Didn t read calculate the force of friction using the formula. Torque weight x distance to center of gravity x cosine angle if weight is evenly distributed distance to cg is length 2 calculation assumes zero degree angle unless otherwise specified.

The normal force is equal to the weight of the object so this can also be written. Weight of panel 2 lblength of panel 10 in. Multiply the angle by the torque to calculate the friction in newtons n. For heavy machine covers.

For displays or mirrors reell precision makes.
