LEECO provides custom hinges and custom torque hinge solutions for engineering applications that require controlled motion, stable positioning, compact integration, and long-term durability. With over 30 years of experience in torque hinge design and manufacturing, LEECO supports customers from concept development to customized hinge production.
In addition to constant torque performance and long operation life, LEECO offers application-specific hinge designs with torque ratings of over 15 Nm. By utilizing various torque engine technologies, our engineering team helps optimize hinge performance, mechanical structure, and production cost based on each customer’s specifications.
When Do You Need Custom Hinges?
Custom hinges are ideal when standard hinges cannot meet the mechanical, spatial, or functional requirements of a product design. A customized hinge may be required when the application needs specific torque values, unique mounting brackets, special opening angles, compact geometry, hollow shafts for wiring, detent positions, damping control, or multi-axis movement.
LEECO works with customers to develop custom hinge solutions that match product structure, load requirements, range of motion, expected cycle life, and user experience goals.
01.Symmetric and asymmetric counterbalanced torque hinges
Both counterbalance features can offset gravity and greatly enhance the feeling of touch. While holding its position, the object can be easily moved with just your fingertips.
02.Slim and thin geometry torque hinges with options of custom bracket and hollow shaft for wiring
The spring clip torque element provides excellent performance in torque stability and cycle life. The element can also be integrated directly into your mechanism for space-constrained applications as shown.
03.Detent torque hinges and snap open / close torque hinges
With a built-in snapping cam mechanism, the torque hinges can hold objects at desired angles and positions and save the cost of a latch while in a close position.
04. Multiple axis torque hinges
With the combination of various designs, we can provide a tilt and swivel torque hinge in one piece.
05.Damping torque hinges
With a custom damping friction mechanism to deliver smooth and constant rotation speed throughout the range of motion.
06.Pop up or pop down torque hinges
The torque hinge can pop open or closed when the latch is released.
07.Others and the combination of the above features

Custom Hinge Design Process
1. Requirement Review
LEECO reviews the customer’s application requirements, including load, torque, opening angle, installation space, cycle life, and environmental conditions.
2. Engineering Evaluation
Our engineering team evaluates the hinge structure, torque mechanism, bracket design, shaft configuration, and cost requirements.
3. Prototype and Testing
Prototype samples can be developed for performance validation, including torque stability, motion feel, cycle life, and assembly compatibility.
4. Production Support
After validation, LEECO supports customized hinge production with stable quality, efficient manufacturing, and competitive cost control.
