The
S & S Hinge Company hole-punches, bends and forms, and performs
other value-added operations on its continuous hinges.
As
a starting point, please refer to our standard
hinge chart and download the appropriate blueprints.
For more information on ordering custom hinges, please ask for our Product
and Service Guide.
Hole Punching
We can make holes in
many sizes, shapes, and patterns.
Bending
Various
types of bending may be required to fit a hinge into the space
allotted for it.
All bending is done in our Value Added Department.
Variations include:
Swaging: pushing
one or both leaves toward or beyond the center of the pin.
Full Swaging
One leaf swaged
the full diameter of pin. Leaves are parallel in the closed
position.
Half
Swaging
One
leaf swaged one half of pin diameter.
Half
Swaging
of Both Leaves
Both
leaves swaged one half of pin diameter, with minimum clearance
between hinge leaves when parallel.
Reverse
Swaging
One
leaf swaged to simulate reverse assembly. Leaves
do not close to a parallel position.
Offsetting
Pushing
one or both leaves away from the center of the pin.
Forming
All
bending of the leaves other than swaging or offsetting.
A
pin staked into position by small dents made in a consistent
pattern on the bottoms of the knuckles. Fabricated on line
for no additional charge. Standard on S&S 400 series. Recommended
for high security applications in which customers want to avoid
easy removal of pins.
Staked
Pin
Allows
quick alignment of hinges to their applications. Used primarily
in high volume welding operations and assemblies.
