ST - Constant Torque Position Control Hinges

ST hinges enable users to easily position doors, display screens, safety shields, and other mounted components and hold them securely at any desired angle - fully opened, fully closed, or anywhere in between. With a stylish design and powerful holding torque, they are designed for applications that demand a refined look without sacrificing functionality. Multiple hinge sizes, materials, and torque ranges provide the options to satisfy a wide range of application needs.
