G7 - Bi-Stable Embedded Hinges
Provide invisible, bi-stable functionality that forces hinged components to drive to one of two fixed positions 180 degrees apart. With “flip style” ease designed specifically for small access doors and covers, the G7 allows customers to integrate reliable door positioning into small molded plastic applications in a manner that is quick, cost effective and user friendly. The compact, tested solution means reduced down time for maintenance and proven performance likely surpassing the lifetime of the application.
The G7 delivers a customizable, validated solution with consistent results. The specific installation requirement of an injection mold makes the mechanism particularly practical for mass production, new designs and design refreshes.
