Hinge shoulder the important responsibility of connecting the cabinet and the door panel, in the usual cabinet use, the most tested is the hinge. Therefore, it is also one of the most important hardware of the cabinet.
Common hinges generally have plastic, zinc alloy, 304 stainless steel /316 stainless steel, iron these four materials. Each material hinge has its own characteristics, in the selection can be based on the specific scene combined with the advantages and disadvantages of different materials into the selection.
1. There are two types of commonly used plastics:
PA nylon: good toughness, wear resistance, heat resistance, not easy to burn;
ABS resin: Impact resistance, high/low temperature resistance, comprehensive cost-effective.
Plastic disadvantages: easy weathering and low strength in outdoor scenes.
2. The common materials of zinc alloy hinge are Zamak3 and Zamak5.
Advantages: good casting performance, can do more surface treatment; Good mechanical properties and wear resistance at room temperature;
Disadvantages: poor corrosion resistance, weather resistance is not strong, the most common defect surface foaming.
Typical applications: IP electrical outer box, wall mounted frame outer box, server cabinet.
3.304 Stainless Steel hinge
Advantages: Good corrosion resistance and weather resistance, mechanical properties than zinc alloy significantly improved;
Disadvantages: The production process is more complex, the surface treatment process is single, the price is relatively more expensive.
Typical applications: fresh storage doors, shipping containers and construction machinery projects.
4.316 Stainless Steel hinges
In 304 stainless steel base performance upgrade, the price is more expensive.
Typical applications: special vehicles, fire doors, yachts, ships, etc.
5. Iron hinges
Advantages: high strength, low price;
Disadvantages: Easy to rust.
Typical application: hospital door, warehouse door.
