Doors, Covers, and Lids

Improve User Experience with Smooth Motion and Position Control

Reell's wide range of hinges create a solid feel and eliminate unwanted movement after positioning.

Reell friction hinges provide precise torque, creating a smooth, solid feel and enabling infinitely positioned lids and storage compartment covers while eliminating gas struts, secondary locking, or support rods. Add Reell hinges to improve customer experience by creating a one-hand opening lid that stays securely in any position and doesn’t close abruptly.

Extension Arms for Lighting, Monitors and Imaging

Smooth Feel and Steady Positioning

Reell slip clutches and torque inserts allow full rotation while holding extension arms in position without springs, pistons, or locking mechanisms.

Reell torque inserts and slip clutches integrate position control into extension arm joints for lighting, monitors or imaging devices. These torque elements create an easy to move joint, allowing users to position devices in the exact location needed but prevent the joint from moving, eliminating drift and readjustments over time.
