Torque Inserts

Torque Inserts

Reell's standard and custom full torque inserts are a novel positioning product that are designed to be press fit or over-molded in customer applications.  They use patented ReellTorq® clip technology to provide a smooth feel of quality and consistent torque over long life without the visible appearance of a hinge.

Description

Reell’s TI-100 Series of torque inserts feature a molded glass-filled nylon package configuration with 360° of rotation. Designed to be press fit into a variety of materials, TI-100 Series small torque insert friction hinges are available in five package sizes with torques from 0.25-6.0 N-m.

The TI-150 and TI-160 feature Reell's exclusive "One-way" torque technology, which eliminates nearly all the torque required to move in one direction, without compromising the holding force in the other. This makes them ideal for heavy-duty vertical adjustment applications, where the small torque insert friction hinge holds solidly against gravity in the downward direction, while remaining easy to adjust in the upward direction.

All TI-100 Series small torque insert friction hinges feature Reell's patented ReellTorq® technology, which ensures consistent smooth long-life position control without adjustment.

Description

Designed to be plastic over-molded, the TI-200 is available in two package sizes, with torques from 1.5-8.0 N-m.  

The series features Reell's differential torque, which provides 100% of the specified torque in one direction and 60% of the specified torque in the opposite.  This makes it ideal for vertical positioning applications where gravity is acting upon the positioned object.

Description

Reell TI-300 Series Torque Inserts feature a powdered metal package configuration designed to be press-fit into round holes for quick and easy installation.

The TI-300 Series is available in three package sizes, with torques from 0.50 - 10.0 N-m and with mounting profile options including exposed knurled shaft end and a knurled zinc adapter for installation into plastics.  All models are also available in a dual-ended shaft configuration.

The series is available with an optional One-way torque adapter. ‘One-way’ torque eliminates nearly all the torque required to move the hinge in one direction, without compromising the holding force in the other. This makes the TI-300 series ideal for vertical adjustment applications, where it holds solidly against gravity in the downward direction, while remaining easy to adjust in the upward direction.
