How to Select a Friction Hinge for Medical Equipment: What the Spec Sheets Won't Tell You
Every engineer who comes to us with a medical hinge requirement has specified friction hinges before. Usually in consumer electronics, industrial enclosures, or automotive. They know the basics. What catches people off guard — and what I've seen derail programs that had the torque calculation exactly right — is the torque engine selection problem. -
Friction Hinge vs Gas Spring for Equipment Lid
A friction hinge (also called a torque hinge or constant-torque hinge) uses internal spring steel bands wrapped around a central shaft. When the lid rotates, those bands generate consistent resistance — torque — throughout the full range of motion. The result is what we call "free-stop" behavior: the lid holds at whatever angle you leave it, whether that's 30°, 75°, or 110°, with no additional hardware. The torque is mechanical, set at manufacturing, and doesn't deplete over time. A -
