Up until now the worlds thinnest hinge has been our 1.6mm ( closed thickness ) Carbon Kevlar hinge, with our new Ultra Thin hinge we have halved that thickness to 0.8mm for only a 20% reduction in static load strength.
Designed specifically for electronic devises where weight and space are at a premium , the hinge is made for the extraordinary Trextreme spread tow carbon prepreg in combination with a more tightly woven lighter Kevlar.
A 50mm long hinge can hold a 120kg static load, can arc thru 360 degrees and is tested to 1 million cycles.
Being so thin the hinge can only be bonded in place and has a peel ply surface to provide the best possible adhesion.
The hinge is available from the www.carbonhinge.com web site in lengths up to 300mm in widths of 18mm and 25mm.
