Continuous Hinge

This continuous hinge is produced for a military customer to all applicable Mil-Spec standards. The hinge begins with a master coil of 0.090" thick steel. The 2.5" wide coil is cut to 35" on our cut to length line. After the blank has been cut, a 1" knuckle is stamped into the steel before it is rolled to a 1.5" centerline for each leaf. Holes are pierced according to print and pins are cut to 35" to match the hinge length. We also produce this hinge in a variety of additional lengths for this customer and are capable of modifying many standard designs to create a custom hinge for a specific application.
The final hinge is assembled and the pin is welded to the hinge using a gas tungsten arc (TIG) welding process. The final assembly is painted according to military specifications. Dimensional tolerances on this hinge are held to as tight as ± 0.005" at critical dimensions.
