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 -
