Low cost custom moulding has fast turn-round
Rencol's custom moulding service offers large capacity from injection moulding machines ranging from 150 to 6500kN (15-650 tonf) locking force at low cost.
Rencol offers expanded clamping handles
A range of competitively priced, high quality, clamping handles by Rencol are used in many factories including medical and mobility aid equipment, industrial machinery and office furniture.
The Combi plastic hinges include a detachable variation which allows doors or covers to be lifted-off for easy removal.
This 'split hinge' design also enables the use of asymmetrical hinges with different wing sizes on a single hinge, ideal where two different size profile sections need to be connected.
Hinges offer a full 220deg opening and are available to suit profile dimensions of 25, 30, 35,40, 45, 50 and 60mm.
Any combination of these seven sizes can be achieved in both left hand and right hand hinge variations.
Non-detachable hinges, which do not allow lift-off, are also available in the same range and combinations of wing sizes.
Plastic Combi hinges can also be supplied with moulded locating pins to fit the longitudinal mounting slots of profile systems.
These facilitate easier assembly and increase load bearing by helping to prevent unwanted hinge deflection or rotation.
The locating pins correspond to mounting slot widths of 6, 8 or 10mm, as appropriate to different sized profile sections.
Plastic hinges are manufactured from fibreglass reinforced nylon and fitted with a stainless steel centre pin.
The standard colour is black, but other colours could be provided if required.
Other special purpose plastic hinges available include a 20mm version, together with both light and heavy duty hinges including single hole mounting options.
As well as stainless steel non-detachable hinges, other metal variations include adjustable hinges with elongated holes, a positioning hinge set to 85deg and 175deg openings, together with black powder coated die-cast hinges with 270deg opening.
