Measurement of the pull-out force of plastic hinges

Measurement of the pull-out force of plastic hinges

Hinges flexibly connect two fixed components. They are used in classic mechanical engineering, on devices, in furniture construction and in house construction. They are often used on doors, flaps and hoods as well as on frames or. profiles installed. Thanks to the use of particularly resistant materials, some models are also suitable for demanding areas such as those found in shipbuilding or at sea. A variety of different materials are used. Depending on the material, these are particularly robust, corrosion-resistant and user-friendly. In the case of hinges made of plastic, which are produced by injection molding and are particularly light, the pull-out force must be tested again and again so that the function remains guaranteed. To do this, a tensile force meter is used, which can perform this test quickly and efficiently
