Continuous hinges
The range of long hinges consists of aluminium profile continuous hinges, roller knuckle continuous hinges, polymer continuous hinges, continuous hinges with cranked leaves and double knucle continuous hinges which measure between 915 mm and 2160 mm. We offer a wide range of materials: such as stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316L, steel, polypropylene, aluminium, Width of this type hinges could be from 15 mm up to 127 mm, opening angle up to 270°. They are often used for applications such as: metal housings, industrial vehicles, agricultural vehicles, railways, vending machines, ramps and many other.
Piano (continuous) hinges for long industrial covers, doors and hatches
Piano (continuous) hinges are one of the most reliable solutions when it is necessary to evenly distribute the load along the entire length of the door or lid. Due to their continuous construction, they ensure stable movement, protect the frame from deformation and increase the durability of the entire structure. These hinges are especially suitable for long hatches, industrial covers, protective walls, equipment covers and special technical housings.
Continuous hinge design, profiles and materials used in industry
Continuous hinges are usually made of stainless steel, aluminum or steel with a protective coating. The material is selected based on the operating environment and the load that the door or lid will have to withstand. Stainless steel is suitable for humid or aggressive environments, aluminum for lightweight structures, and steel hinges where greater strength is required. The profiles can be of different widths and thicknesses to match the geometry of a specific frame. The simple design makes the hinges quick and sturdy to install.
Piano hinge applications for cabinets, equipment enclosures and protective covers
Continuous hinges are widely used in industrial cabinets, control boxes, machine protection enclosures, laboratory systems and various technical cabinets. They provide additional stability and reliability to the structure by avoiding the point load distribution characteristic of standard hinges. Such hinges also help to maintain the exact opening angle and avoid unwanted vibrations.
How to select piano (continuous) hinges based on length, loads and working environment?
When choosing, it is important to consider the length and weight of the door or lid. For longer and heavier structures, it is necessary to choose hinges with a thicker profile and made of stronger material. The working environment also has an impact: stainless steel is suitable for wet areas, aluminum for clean laboratories, and coated steel models for heavy industry. A precisely selected continuous hinge ensures long-lasting, smooth and safe opening.
