There’s one type of industrial hinge that has a long hinge block. We call it heavy-duty strap hinges. The hinge manufacturer makes it known out in the industrial production world by the structure, performance, characteristics, and material. This helps you to understand more intuitively and accurately what the hinge does and how it’s set up. It also makes it easier for you to go out and pick the right hinge.
In this article, I’m going to give you knowledge about heavy-duty strap hinges.
What are the heavy-duty strap hinges?
As I mentioned above, a heavy-duty strap hinge is the type of industrial butt hinges that has a long hinge block. It usually has two hinge blocks that are longer. There are also hinges where one hinge block is short and the other hinge block is long. These T-shaped hinges are used more often in the category of industrial housing equipment. For example, integrated test chambers, environmental chambers, and aging test chambers.
In the construction field, the hinge blocks are longer on both sides. This article focuses on heavy-duty strap hinges that are used in industrial production. You can put these hinges on the door to have a more appropriate load-bearing and aesthetic effect. The width of the door is wider than the width of the door frame. So, the hinge block that you put on this side of the door is longer and the hinge that you put on the door frame is narrower.
What are the characteristics of heavy-duty strap hinges?
The heavy-duty part of this hinge is the way it looks. One side of the hinge block is long and one side is short, or both sides are long. That’s why they call them strap hinges. The reason they’re heavy-duty is that doors in the industrial equipment area are typically heavy-duty. So, strap hinges are heavy-duty, too. That means they’ll hold more weight than your typical industrial cabinet hinges.
Another feature is that these hinges are used on heavy equipment doors. Because of the force of gravity from the door, the mounting area of the hinge to the door and door frame needs to be increased. So, one or both sides of the hinge are lengthened out to give you more area to put screws in to hold the hinge to the door. That makes it a more secure mount to the door, which makes it better for holding weight.
Applications of these hinges
They are used in two main areas, commercial and industrial. In the commercial area, you’ll find them on wooden doors in buildings, patios, furniture, etc. These strap hinges are less heavy-duty, and they’re usually made out of cold-rolled sheets. They don’t have to hold as much weight.
In the industrial sector, strap hinges need to be made from better materials. For example, they are used in high and low-temperature test chambers, constant temperature humidity test chambers, and other types of equipment. The doors on these things are generally heavier and have higher requirements for the individual parts.
Also, they are used in heavy trucks, metal guardrails, military equipment doors, and other areas. In addition, they may be used in much unknown equipment. Because they are functional accessories. Where you need them, you use them.
