Hanaya, Inc.

Hanaya Inc. also provide custom hinge solutions to match your exact requirements. Working closely with our customers, we help them understand how our friction hinge technology can be incorporated seamlessly into their applications. Our wrap-around band shaft technology and our state of the art processes have made Hanaya Inc.'s constant torque hinges the most reliable in the industry. Our friction hinge technology features: Smooth feel and consistent torque (+-15% of nominal) over the life of the hinge. All our friction hinges are tested to meet a minimum life of 30, 000 cycles. All our friction hinges have negligible spring back with no free play for that high quality feel. Asymmetrical torque configuration for applications requiring less torque to move in one direction than the other. Eliminate the need for secondary mechanical support to hold unit in place thereby reducing cost. Multiple axis positioning possible with different design configurations. Ability to perform in different environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, or salt spray. Different materials and finishes available for cosmetics or corrosion requirements. All our hinges are RoHS compliant. At a time where cost is one of the keys to gain a competitive edge, our engineers can help you develop a design that meet your requirements at a very competitive price. We provide prototyping at a very low cost and most of the time our samples are free so don't hesitate to call us. We are committed to provide the best quality service to our customers.

Hanaya Inc. also provides damping hinge solutions to meet the requirements of your application. Apart from the standard damping hinges that we carry, we also provide customize damping solutions with different damping torques, mounting configurations and sizes. The most common question a lot of our customers ask is: A friction hinge is a hinge that provides constant torque to hold a device in place through all angles of motion. Unless an external force is applied to move the device, the hinge will resist motion. An application we see it being used every day is a laptop. A damping hinge is a hinge that slows motion but will not hold the device in any fixed position. When a damping hinge is attached to a weighted device, gravity will cause the device to rotate on its own until the entire system reaches a state of equilibrium. The purpose of a damping hinge is not to hold a device in place but to reduce the effects of motion in an oscillatory system, e.g., in the case of a door slamming, we want to reduce that effect so that it closes slowly.
