Constant Torque Hinges from Wixroyd
Constant torque hinges rely on mechanical friction to achieve a stable torque. They allow a set range of motion that offers enough resistance to hold a door, stand or lid open at the angle it is placed, resisting rotation. The torque force of the hinge is determined at manufacture, and there are various types to suit different applications.
Friction hinges also allow for stable positioning, but rely on washers or pads to produce the subsequent torque through friction instead.
Surgical lighting, industrial and electrical access panels, monitor mounts and laptop screens are typical uses of constant torque hinges. Below, you can explore our full range of options to see which is best for your specific application.

Types of Constant Torque Hinges
Torque hinges are available in a variety of types: constant, adjustable and friction - each controls movement, but in slightly different ways. Constant torque hinges provide the same, stable resistance no matter their positioning, whereas adjustable torque hinges allow you to fine-tune the level of resistance yourself, usually using a screw alongside fixing nuts and bolts. Friction hinges use friction to slow or control motion, but are typically not as precise as constant torque versions. Practical uses of friction hinges include awning windows and overhead doors.
